Dear Diary,
Today I saw Dr. Lang on the street , my best friend Kenny's father. He's wearing his usual plastic frames glasses, vintage shirts and skinny jeans that reflects his age as being a hipster in the 2010s. It's always a mystery for me to know what Dr. Lang does for a living. Some sort of history digger I guess, from what Kenny told me. Kenny is pretty much the opposite of his father. Kenny creates and only thinks about future whereas his father dwells in his 1980s. They barely communicate. Or maybe they communicate in another language?
I get along with Dr. Lang pretty well. I feel that I make friends with old people more easily. Dr. Lang once showed me a book about Sound War. It's a banned book about a war that started with some countries fighting over the most enchanting sound. There was a genie that produced this sound and was kidnapped from another country to be locked up in a huge kettle where they tortured her and make her produce the sound all the time. After the war, human are forbidden to make noises. Anymore.
I don't think most people know about this. We have to learn sign language nowadays for that reason. Since technology has improved, we can communicate by writing on each other's graphene pad. Well, I still hate it anyways. Dr. Lang told me that there is a clan of people that did not get deprived of their ability to speak and sing. Sadly they were mostly killed during the war. I wish I could meet anyone of them.
