Conflict is fairly simple: 1. Someone wants something. 2. S/He/They cannot get it. 3. What does s/he/they do about it? So your optimistic TECH can be the solution to the problem, rather than the problem itself. Basic ideas which could be solved with Happy TECH: - **Fish out of water:** an alien from some much less optimistic society arrives and flails about trying to accomplish some task (deliver a package, meet someone, make repairs, purchase something). - **Fish out of water, domestic variant:** country bumpkin comes to big city, marvels at bright lights and big buildings. Decides to stay in Gay Paree rather than go back to the farm. - **Pick a fairytale, any fairytale:** Puss in Boots. The Frog Prince. The Princess and the Pea. Cinderella. Any of these could be solved faster (or at least made more interesting) with the application of TECH. - **Missed connection:** I saw you on the train as we passed, I fell in love, now I have to find out your name. - **Plan Mom's surprise birthday party.** Mom could be 150, if you like. Watch any sitcom, boil the plot down to an elevator pitch, and rebuild it in your universe.
