We decided we wanted to display to the audience the difference between someone working using modern technology (computers) vs. someone working using traditional technology (pen/paper). We would accomplish this by having two group members in front of the class facing the audience, one on a laptop, one writing with a pen. While they are working on writing a paper, what they see is being display on a projector behind each of them. At the end of the performance, the person using traditional technology would have their paper written and the person using the computer would have experienced a deluge of distractions and would have made no progress. We realized to accomplish the effect we desired, the projection of the person working with the computer would have to be prerecorded and we would need a well scripted event. We began writing a script and below is what we have come up with thus far (notes/scripting):
-phone call during performance

10. cell phone call from classmate

11. conclusion: starts closing everything and goes back to a blank screen
