Tech News - 400 B.C.

Teens and adults alike rushed out this week to purchase a new product
called the 'Daily Intelligence Journal'.  High-tech giant AristophaCo
unveiled the new device, which consists of a small, easy to carry
bundle of papyri with lines drawn on each piece.  Using a feather and
an ink well (each sold seperately), the user records the events of
their day, including when they woke up, what they bought that day, and
where they walked.  The lightweight device is brought to the market
weekly, where it can be transcribed by officials and entered into the
record.  Travellers are especially interested in the device, which is
now required for entry into many cities.
