The Tale of the Virtual Pets (1999)

Vanessa Lengies: Vange

Quotes 

• Vange : That is exactly what my story's about.

  Quinn : What, spoiled rich chicks?

  Vange : No, electronic stuff. Everybody's always using cell phones, laptop computers, electronic notebooks, and it's not just grownups either. Kids have pagers, calculators and games.

  [into Megan's phone] 

  Vange : She'll call you back.

  [disconnects] 

  Vange : We can't live without them.

  Megan : You are so eleven.

  Andy : Well, I don't use anything like that.

  Vange : Oh, yeah? What about the alarm on that big old watch of yours?

  Andy : Well, sure, every morning.

  Vange : Duh! Then a computer chip is telling *you* when to wake up, isn't that weird?

• Vange : If we need computers *so* bad, and they're getting smarter all the time, does that mean people are getting dumber? My story's about a bunch of kids who use computers. They think they're all pretty smart, but what they don't know is their computers are really using THEM.
