Immortal Confrontation

A conversation of times past between immortals on an infinite plane of confrontation.
The following was recorded by the universal scribe between the Immortals Magus and Traekant.

"You have followed me here foolishly Magus," Traekant sneered, "Your curiosity will be your undoing." "I am not interested in your self indulgent rhetoric Traekant, I am here to exact my revenge," Magus shot back through clenched teeth. "Haha you seem confident for someone so far from home," Traekant began to mock Magus, "how will you ever see your friends again?" "I have only to kill you, Traekant, then the boys and I will do a jig on your lifeless corpse." "I have but to will it and your life will end Magus," Traekat said confidently as he closed the gap between the two, "with a flick of my wrist I shall make you useless to a woman." "You will find that I am not so naive and helpless as I once was" Magus exclaimed as he circled to Traekat's left. Magus unsheathed a small dagger and said, "You will find that I have grown quite a bit since last you left me for dead." Traekat grimaced and retorted "A mistake of morality I do not plan on making again." Traekat began to mumble "Cal et Por Pyre." Magus' eyes opened widely and he shouted "Pyre Prot es." A violent clash of magical energy twisted between Magus and Traekat. "I am dissapointed Magus," Traekat laughed, "I had already started imagining your screams of agony." "I find your sense of humor disturbing Traekat," Magus grunted with genuine surprise, "the disfigurement of your soul is clearly manifested in your face." "Your nerve makes you arrogant Magus" Traekat growled, "you should show respect to those you idolize." "You and I are nothing alike Traekat," Magus yelled obviously shaken "I will never be like you." "On the contrary young Magus, it would take just a nudge to

Tech Today-a statistical observation

Observation was conducted on a Friday afternoon during the hours of 2pm and 4pm. All observed individuals are outdoors and in motion as they travel the sidewalks southeast of the Marriott Library. The total number of individuals in this observation is 309, including 81 individuals part of a group of two or more, 185 solo individuals, and 43 older individuals. Age discrimination is done via guesstimation and requirements were generally superficial. Out of 185 total solo individuals 82(45%) of those were in the process of using a tech device. The cell phone proved to be the most popular device as it was in use by 48 solo individuals(25%). The use of headphones was also prevalent, as it was in use by 34 solo individuals(20%). Headphones were not very common among groups as only three individuals(4%) were observed using them while part of a group. Among the older subjects observed (43) not one of them was using any type of device. Granted the pool of older individuals was much smaller, but the lack of any type of technology among them was surprising. A generational interest for technology may be inferred, although possibly misleading.
A similar observation conducted on a very short bus ride produced similar percentages. Fifteen individuals were observed, of those, five(33%) were in the process of using some type of device.
