VTech

VTech is Vooperia's largest technology company. Its current CEO is superjacobl

## History

VTech was founded in 2042.

In 2076, VTech began doing pilot studies for their chip technology, now known as VChip. A few years later in 2082 VTech began pilot trials of their chips. These trials are now well known for having many issues. Out of the 20 original people who enrolled in the trial, 3 died and 4 went into a permanent coma. The 2nd set of trials were much more successful.

The Vooperian government authorized VChips for general use in 2086 much to the disapproval by people who worried about their privacy. Getting a VChip was and still is free, but there has always been a cheap monthly subscription to use it.

Starting in 2100, VTech launched their VChip Pro subscription service, which started out at ¢50 credits a month. VChip Pro enabled many more features, such as showing the social media profile of someone above their head, allowed for holograms (note, starting in 2150, you must have a VChip Pro and a VChip Anywhere subscription to enable the hologram feature).

VTech announced that starting in 2130, their VChip Pro subscription would increase from ¢50 to ¢100 credits a month, this was due to increasing server cost and the ever increasing storage cost. It was increased again to ¢200 credits a month in 2170.

VChip Anywhere subscriptions started out costing ¢125 credits a month, but was later increased to ¢300 in 2190.

Only 10% of VChip users have a VChip Anywhere subscription, and 30% have a VChip Pro subscription.

## VTech's Server Network

In order to process the massive amount of data from VChips and other sources, VTech spends over ¢15 trillion every year expanding and maintaining their server and datacenter network. In fact, every year VTech's processing power doubles and their storage capacity triples.

Recently the public has started demanding that VTech does something about their massive energy footprint. This outrage was sparked by a leaked VTech document showing that nearly 15% of Vooperia's energy usage goes to VTech servers and 5% goes to VTech factories.

Most of VTech's servers are located in New Vooperis, with the rest located in every district except for Medievala.

## Employee Retirement

Employees at VTech have a combined retirement system, a 501k plan and a VTech stock options plan. For the 501k plan, the employee pays 2% and VTech pays 1% (this totals to 3% of salary). For the VTech Holdings Stock Options Plan or VHSOP for short, VTech puts 3% of salary (about 2k for the average employee) into the employee's VHSOP. After 85 years with VTech, a employee is forced into retirement, with the average employee living for 50-60 years atfer retirement, with over ¢3,000,000 in their 501k plan and over ¢20,000,000 in their VHSOP account.

When the employee enters retirement, they can choose to get paid 3k, 4k, or 5k monthly out of their VHSOP.

## Employee Death

When a employee dies, VTech will continue to pay the employee's salary to their family for 20 years after death. VTech will claim the employee's VHSOP account, but their 501k account will be handed over to the family.

## User's Data

### After Death

A user may choose to enable their loved ones to beable to view all of their happy memories after they have died. This must be enabled before death.

### VSS Investigations

If a user has been within 500ft of a crime, VSS will beable to view a video recording and audio recording of 1 hour before the crime and 1 hour afterwards (2 hours in total).

## VChip Services

### VChip Anywhere

VChip Anywhere allows for the user appear somewhere as a hologram. All users can see this hologram, but only people with a VChip Anywhere subscription can use the feature. VChip Anyway was released on the 18th of July, 2145. Starting in 2150, VTech required that VChip Anywhere users also pay for the VChip Pro subscription.

On July 18th, 2180, VChip Anywhere users got a feature, of being able to relive their memories, sparking a mass influx of new high paying users. This dramatically increased the cost of the service for VTech, resulting in another price hike.

There has been rumors that VTech might allow the editing and/or sharing of memories, or they might release a new subscription service called something along the lines of VChip YouMemory. The CEO of VTech, superjacobl has refused to say if these rumors are true or not.

Use cases include, a senator on vacation when there's a senate meeting. The senator can simple appear as a hologram to the senate yet still be relaxing in the sun.

With the ever increasing computing and storage costs, this service remains as the highest cost per user service.

### VChip Base Subscription

VChip Base subscription, often just called VChip Base. Users are required to buy the subscription in order to use their chip. The base subscription bearly generates any profit for VTech, with most of the income going directly to paying for the servers.

Most districts and the Imperial Government subsidizes the cost of the subscription for poorer Vooperians.
