Meanwhile, in one of many alternate futures...
Jenna loves to hear grandma's reminiscence about life when the interwebs were young.
Jenna can't imagine life without free access to everything—and everyone—that she could want or need.
But over dinner, Grandma recounts how she met Grandpa.
Jenna smirks...

But, as Grandma tells of her great romance, Jenna wonders what drew them together. After all, none of what attracted her grandparents can be captured in online profiles.
Gradually, Jenna's feeling of freedom changes—into a sense of manipulation by stupid CuePID.
