iGod: Ctrl+Alt+Del Parallel Earth 404
iGod's narrator writes...
Greetings humble reader,
The Parallel Beatles once sung: "All you need is love... But failing that a shiny gadget will do." That's why, whatever you unwrapped on Christmas morning, I'm betting you got at least one of the following TOP 3 MOST POPULAR GADGETS OF 2010:
- The Automated Eulogy Machine - "with over 50 realistic, heartfelt generic anecdotes this little babe really takes the hassle out of family funerals".
- The Pia-yes! - "An all-new, much more positive, version of the Piano".
- The Wireless Pigeon - "Like a pigeon, but without the wires!".

But if you ask me, technology is about as helpful as a concrete teddy bear is cuddly. Sure, technology keeps you folks happy, but only in the same way that a pacifier-shaped grenade can keep a baby happy for five minutes. Eventually --- KA-BOOM!
...Which bring us neatly onto the fate of Parallel Earth 404, which you can hear about in Episode Three of iGod tonight at 11pm on Radio 4. I'll be telling you how 404 was dragged into the cosmic Recycle Bin when Ian and Technology combined. Y'see, the people of 404 had a kind of love-hate relationship with gadgets...
And through the wonders of Technology you can still listen to Episode Two where Ian's swollen Ego wrote Parallel Earth 413's Globituary.
Enjoy, gadget gannets!
Yours,
Exalted Narrator
