![]() Bender says he gives the people what they want, like a video of Fry doing karate in his underpants. Fry's upset that Bender has 50,000 followers now and he only has three wait, two… Leela unsubscribed. He sends the ad to all his followers, which results in the crew having lunch at the pizza place. She fires a direct-marketing algorithm at Fry, selling him an underarm fungus cream he can charge to his eyePhone for an additional fee, as well as pizza ads sent to Hermes every time he gets hungry. Now, millions of morons are directly sending her all the information she needs to exploit them. Lookin' for love." Is this too much information? No, says Mom at her lair. Fry sends a boring hourly "Twupdate": "Burpin' eggs. She proceeds to crash the ship into the Planet Express building, where Bender immediately Twits a video of the crash to everyone as "a video of some idiot crashing her spaceship," adding a laugh track and sending it to his 10,000 followers. It's hands-free: that's how she made the taco and spaghetti she's eating. Fry's surprised to find that the eyePhones are also phones. It's the killer app: gloating in her lair, Mom says she really means "killer," laughing evilly.Īt Planet Express, the crew enjoys their Twits. A video of Mom explains that eyePhone supports an app called "Twitcher," which allows users to send super-short videos, called "Twits." Since they can now record with their eyes, they can send videos of anything they see to their followers, instantly. Once there, they find that eyePhones are installed directly in the eye.Īll eyePhone owners beam a small computer readout from their eyes to right in front of their faces. Getting to the store takes hours, maybe even days. The line to the Mom store stretches across town. The crew buys their new eyePhones on-line. After a television ad for the new eyePhone from Mom Industries, Leela tosses her old cell phone. On the third world (of the Antares system), the Planet Express crew finds a dirty, toxically polluted planet, where the sickly mutant natives burn the e-waste, "safely releasing the toxins into our air and drinking water." Back on Earth, Leela resolves to use her electronics as long as possible, no matter how outdated. A reporter asks if all this e-waste is dangerous, but the mayor says no: not after it's all hauled off to the third world to be melted down by minimum-wage nobodies. It's the annual e-waste recycling festival, and the populace is encouraged to recycle their old, outdated, computerized devices.
