"On a decree from the Galaxy Confederation, every computer-system in the known Universe, and some other systems beyond that, will be replaced by one single main-frame. This computer will make all important decisions that are to be taken, about anything, what so ever. Because of this, we will no longer need any governments, and the Galaxy Confederation will from now on turn itself into a bridge- and chess-society."
"Of course, we will use Microsoft's new operating system Windows XNT 2147, which they expect to release next week. The computer itself is already under production, and has been so since way back. It should be finished within a month."
Three weeks and two days later, an excited crowd of people sat glued to their gravi-chairs inside their holo-spheres.
"And now, it's time for a live broadcast from the Galax Confederation's press conference." "Here, at G. Confed's Central Information and DAta-Center, CIDAC, we will soon be presented a fabulous introduction to the new system's astonishing capacity and computational powers."
Everything was silent.
"Wait", the reporter said excited, "I think something is happening! A hologram with the symbol XNT is taking form in front of our eyes. Indeed it seems like the system has been activated now."
"Can I have your attention please?", the president of the Galaxy Confederation said, with pride in his voice.
Everyone lowered their voices.
"We have gathered here today to witness the transition from a crippled process of decisions that is totally out of date, to an efficient, hyper-technological system which never fails. We come here today governed by politicians, but we leave with minds at ease, knowing that every problem will be taken care of by the new, efficient, decision making-program we use on this Quadril-Octium Super-Trans-dimensional-Computer.
As you may notice, the system has already been started and has begun collecting and analysing data. Soon, it will be ready to interpret, disect, analyse and answer your questions; this system is totally neural and hyper-intelligent. It will know the answer for most questions before they have been asked."
Suddenly, the hologram disappeared. Instead, a blue square appeared in mid-air, with text on its sides.
'An unknown error has been caused by an unallowed action in an unknown part of the memory. A stack-collision in an unknown parallel-stack has for an unknown reason caused unallowed load on the process unknown, resulting in a system-fault of type unknown error #711243. Do you want to reboot the system? [Reboot], [Yes] or [OK]'
