As seen online

In the early pages of the Angel project, Max claims that they wouldn't know nothing without the internet.

Still, just beacuse Kids have acess to the internet does not mean they will use it to teach themselves what you hoped, Jeb

The biggest proof that Jeb is not dead, lies not in his lack of a body, or any such conventional sign. Jeb is not dead, because the laptops he left behind, still have internet. No matter where they go, the bandwidth stick in the laptops he left, never fails to deliver the knowledge of the internet. Something Fang is thankful for everyday.

The internet has been their longest, unfailingly consistent teacher. From those laptops, fang reads, and eventually writes, blogs. Sometimes, he curls up and reads cooking blogs to Iggy, while dreaming of what he would write in his own, someday. Probably nothing like the ones he reads, and wishes his life was like. They ask questions to Yahoo. The answers are not always accurate, but it is his preferred distance to ask people who are not flock, for help.

Nudge and Gazzy read their first words out loud, from fanfiction he read to them, about stories they will likely never see in person. Sometimes, there are also online comics to enjoy. As long as they are not too graphic, they show Angel. Fang does not really see the point of trying to preserve Angels innocence, when she can read their minds. Not until Gazzy shows her Mr. Happy face, and scares her badly enough that Max intervenes. Perhaps there is something to seeing it first hand, Fang concedes.

Fang is not sure if Angel has learned how to read by osmosis, or has in fact never learned to read, and instead reads the thoughts of the person looking at the screen with her. He has no idea how to properly test this theory.

They read the Wiki's for cannon information, although some of the twists found in the fanfiction are better then the real thing, he finds. He tries to balance these stories, with information about animals, or people, or cars. They often get sidetracked, but at least they are having fun discovering new information.

One time, they discover Braille, and try to teach Iggy to read it. It's a futile effort, as Iggy is unlikely to come into possession of a Braille laptop anytime soon, but it s sweet, and a bit funny to watch them poking holes into everything, in an attempt to replicate the dots. Iggy obligingly feels them, and rolls his unseeing eyes when they argue over the placement.

Both Iggy and Nudge have a habit of reading everything out loud, to Iggy, regardless of if he is in the room or not. Iggy in turn shows amazing audio memory, for all kinds of instructions. But most of the time, they use Iggy's memory, and Gazzy's impressions to recite any and all video's they see on Newgrounds, or elsewhere. They usually have recitals on the flight to the next safe place, and are accompanied by Nudge's vivid descriptions of any action's taken in the scene. Fang still thinks nothing will be more bizarre then the Arfenhouse based recitals.

The flock all serves as Iggy's eyes in the kitchen, as he determinedly learns to cook, until he knows things by heart. He is Gazzy's partner in explosive's, remembering the rules and suggesting alternatives in their experiments together. He is Nudge's listening ear, as she talks of her characters latest encounters in AdventureQuest, , or Runescape.

And it is a group effort, that works to convince Max that the earth is flat.

Max spends a lot of time with Angel, and sometimes the rest of the flock comes together to try to teach them something new. The attempt to teach them cooking is best left forgotten. Usually history, or pop culture goes over decently, as it is often pretty entertaining. And sometimes, the lesson is a prank.

This one was pretty well prepared. There are photographs, video's, and plenty of online articles, as well as Nudge's fast talking that leave Max under the belief that gravity is an illusion. In retrospect, it was a bad idea, as it is much harder to get Max to stop believing in dark energy, then it was to sell her on the concept. It took several weeks, and a possible Angel intervention before she stopped brining it up.

Fang is not entirely Max has stopped believing in it, as she still sometimes talks about the earth rising.

Max spends time with Angel on the internet, watching relatively tamer classics with her, such as Smosh, Fred, Kingdom Hearts Chronicles, and animated music video's. Gazzy swears her to silence, and shows Angel classics such as Tankmen, The Ultimate Showdown, Ducktalez Z3 and Filmcow. Personally Fang prefers Spatula Madness to Charlie the unicorn, but they are entitled to their own sense of taste.

Max does not spend as much time on the internet as the rest of them. Yes, she plays AdventureQuest with Nudge, and reads to Iggy, and looks at things with Angel, and reads about animals to her. She pays attention to the recitals, stories, and lessons. But she doesn't do much for herself, beyond ask questions to Yahoo.

Its something Fang puzzles over for awhile, before he asks Yahoo.

Its not a question anyone can answer, but looking through other questions does lead him to information on how to access bootleg movies.

Movie night becomes a much beloved tradition.

Or, a look at what kids with no adult structure, would do with the internet. For kid's who's leanings came from the internet, the books did not seem to use much early 2000's internet culture, which is a missed opportunity, I think. Maybe a mobile internet stick is an odd thing to have, but how else is Fang so consistently updating his blog, or Iggy learning how to cook easily explained without it?
