90's Alan Chat

Just imagined another conversation with 90's Alan. 

Servant Alan :  "Hi 90's Alan, how are you?" 
90's Alan : "I'm fine how are you?"
Servant Alan :  " fine."
90's Alan :  "Do you still watch knight rider?" 
Servant Alan : "No, But I talk to machines every day?" 
90's Alan : "really, how?" 
Servant Alan : "Not too long ago my DAB radio broke, but I realized that smart speakers cost the same price at the time so I replaced it with smart speaker". 
90's Alan : "What is a DAB radio?" 
Servant Alan : "It is like a transistor FM radio, but  the signal turns off and on in pulses to encode characters that describe how to assemble the sound perfectly"
90's Alan :  "Like Morse code?" 
Servant Alan :  "A bit like that, but a microprocessor interprets the code and spurts out crystal clear sound, it is a computer that pretends to be a transistor radio."
90's Alan : "What do you say to the smart speaker?"
Servant Alan :  "I ask it for the news, I ask it logical questions like what the date will be in 97 days and 8 hours, I also ask it to turn on gadgets. Sometimes I just ask it to play the radio and it plays it through the internet". 
90's Alan : "Wow.... Why do you call yourself servant Alan?" 
Servant Alan : "I am like millennium Alan but I don't think global warming is a mild problem that will fix itself when the fossil fuels run out and I realized that everything I do in this world creates a never ending chain reaction that goes around the whole planet and eventually effects every person in the future so I try to be a good servant to all people of the future, that is what they call the 'butterfly effect'. 
90's Alan : "What is the butterfly effect?" 
Servant Alan : "Look it up, not with your internet speeds though, ha ha ha ha. Better start now, ha ha ha, see ya".
