<strong>Computers:</strong>The computers of 2035 are nano-circuitry. Usually the size of a iPod of today or larger, they have either a manual keyboard or a magnetic touch keyboard. The magnetic one saves space, but it much more power intensive. Some are usable by those people who have dataplugs, but not all have that option for security reasons.<br/><br/>The memory of computers is phenominal. Able to hold a incredible amount of information, the programs used also use up a massive amopunt of space. With AI's being the most massive.  A netrunner has the latest soft/hardware and is constantly upgrading it. This leads to older programs and hardware being sold off for a cheap price. Still good after 2-3 years, but concidered obsolete in many ways.<br/><br/>Nanites are used to make computer circuitry, but it is not used to make computers that fit into tiny spaces. Like a postage stamp. The main problem is heat. The faster and more powerful a computer is, the more heat it produces. Which leads to hardware degredation and breakdowns. So the computers are kept above a certain size for cooling purposes. This allows for add-ons to be plugged into the comp.<br/><br/><strong>The Net: </strong>The Net is world wide and ranges far off-planet. It allows for hundreds of millions of people to contact eachother day and night. Uncounted trillions of bytes of information are sent over the Net ever hour. The Net is not as pervasive as one would think though. It impacts many aspects of life, but it is not everwhere. Net use if forbidden by vehical drivers, people using machinery outside of a officeplace, in general businesslife and many homes. It's main impact is in the form of entertainment. The phone/TV/computers are intertwined and they literally can set the world at a person's feet. 99.972% of all homes and businesses in the US, Japan, EU, NCEU, Austraila and space is hooked up to the Net. Used mainly for entertainment.<br/><br/>Businesses use the Net to send/recieve information, conduct meetings, keep an eye on the employees and many other things. The main way onto the Net is by use of NetGlasses(tm), a interface plug, inducer plug or VR Booth. These allow the ujser to enter the Net. There is a safety chip in the gear that prevents any Net attacks froim harming the users. The feature automatically cut the user out  if any attack occures.<br/>Netrunners have this feature diabled or removed from their cyberdecks. Doing that allows for quicker reaction speed and allows them to be the true Masters/mistresses of the Net.<br/><br/>AIs are always online and concidered very dangerous, for their programming allows for defenses that can take and hold a 'runner online and trace her call to the source. Arrests usually follows with the 'runner's cyberdeck being drained of all information.<br/><br/>Note: Unless there is a reason, a computer will not be on the Net. Most companies have a company Netsite on another computer. This prevents Netrunners from successfully raiding the company's databases. Unless the 'runner actually goes into the mainframe to get the informatrion herself.
