QuestionText:	Hello mods! This is a question related to the outer city defectors situation. As Malkuth has asked Yesod to help out with the investigations that she and Wriothesley are carrying out, specifically by looking into what technological innovations and products might be linked to the ongoing demand for Katalyth, Yesod will try to search through any Karterian records of headlines/articles etc. for noteworthy market trends. What sort of information would he be able to find?<br><br>Thank you!

AnswerText:	They're going to need to look upwards: class-wise, that is. A lot of general tech is pretty... innocuous, spanning products that operate with just magic and electricity: electric toothbrushes; air-purifiers... The list of such in-home everyday use appliances can go on. The rich are way more interested in <b>computers</b> than the lower classes; all computers in Karteria are archival and search-based machines, after all, and not ways to "surf the web" recreationally (that's what Syntrofoses are for!). The upper echelon of society like to use these as databases with which to organize their lives: their assets; investments; genealogical records; etc. It's possible that Katalyth can be used in these computers. They're already quite cost-prohibitive, and lately, there has been a marketing shift toward increasingly more expensive, high-powered units and away from the more "affordable" (if it could ever be called that), further pricing out any of those few hopeful citizens hovering below the ultra-wealthy margin who are actually just interested in this sort of tech and might ever hope to have enough numis to rub together to purchase one.<br><br>Another area of the tech industry lies in <b>robotics</b>. There seems to be an uptick in demand for <b>upgrades</b>, and these upgrades are <i>exorbitant</i> in cost. These upgrades usually advertise a more advanced capacity to perform tasks such as in-home medical care; childcare; what might be referred to as "[https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVbVg08DdYM/ wellness chats]", and other helpful, more personal service functions. Beyond that, there aren't any paper trails, and anything further they would like to learn would be best learned by cozying up to the upper-class, which is exceptionally difficult to do. A Golem-type might have the easiest time going under the radar in their circles; wealthy Karterians will be less guarded around even Augmented Ones of these soul types due to their preconceived notions about all Golems being mindless servants, not much better than the robotic help they like to employ.
