Technology on the Street


They didn't have much!  No computers.  Mr. Hooper's Store did not have a fax machine, and even if it did, it probably would have been frequently broken just like every other appliance on the Street.




and obviously there were no mobile phones.  Therefore a very important person such as the Count would naturally need to hire help to keep track of his many messages.

Who usually called?  THIS guy again?




"Call me back already, Count.  It's been a WEEK!"  (That monster at least SEEMED like he was always bothering people.  Not sure if he actually was or if it was just the eyebrows.)


a most disturbing instance was the first appearance of SAM the Robot.

SAM the Robot's message seemed to be that human beings were evil and needed to be destroyed.  He never explicitly SAID that, but he was quite clearly programmed that way.  I wonder who was responsible for his programming?




...naw.




...NO.




Hmmm, maybe.


Imagine Ernie and Bert competing at Nintendo.  Or even Ernie orchestrating some kind of wacky answering machine related prank to irritate Bert.  ("Bert's not home, but here is his credit card information in full.")

and then that full open-mouthed Ernie laugh...
