Invention for Oskar

Oskar is constantly searching for answers in his life. This part of him is specifically shown when he goes searching for someone with the name "Black" and has a special connection to his father.

Something that would be useful for him would be an identification systems that displays information about a person. This database could be accessed through multiple mediums, such as a computer, phone app, or chromebook. This database would give information about the person such as their occupation, age, friends. This information would be useful to Oskar in his personal endeavors.

Oskars need to know this information is expressed in the novel, when he asks "Where were you born? -- Where did you grow up? -- What's your job?" (238).

One of the key features of this system is that it would be able to answer specific questions that Oskar has, which he can ask directly through  mic or type out. These answers would be in YES or NO format. For example, he could ask, "Does this person relate to animals?" or "Has this person met my father?".

This system could also answer deeper questions such as when Oskar asks "What's your story?" (238). The answers would come in sentence format and would save Oskar a lot of time and help him along his life journey.
