Chris! I told you not to do that. That is going to complicate everything. You can't just walk in here and start messing with any of the computers." The fact that he spent all that time trying to figure out how to get to the computer on the second floor makes me wonder if this gentleman may have some experience in computer hacking. Mr. Blythe: I'm a professor of linguistics. Kari Byron: Really? Mr. Blythe: Yeah. Kari Byron: Could I have a look at your credentials? Mr. Blythe: Oh. My computer is over there. Kari Byron: Where's your I.D.? Mr. Blythe: I've got it. Kari Byron: Let me see it. Mr. Blythe: How's my hair look? [ Laughter ] Mr. Blythe: So this is what I'm used to doing. Kari Byron: This is really good stuff, though. Mr. Blythe: Oh. Kari Byron: You're a professor. I've never actually met a professor before. Mr. Blythe: Why is that? Kari Byron: You're the first professor I've ever met. Mr. Blythe: It's just so. Kari Byron: Maybe you can teach me how to hack into computers. Mr. Blythe: Oh, I don't know about that. Kari Byron: You don't know how to do it? [ Laughter ] Mr. Blythe: You're doing great. Kari Byron: Are you hacking the system up there? Mr. Blythe: Yes, I am. Kari Byron: That's pretty cool. Mr. Blythe: I went up there because I was curious to see what he was doing and, in case you want to know, he is just trying to access files on the computer. He doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong. Kari Byron: Well, I'll have to keep that in mind. Mr. Blythe: I have some students come into my class that don't know how to turn on a computer. [ Laughter ] Mr. Blythe: But anyway, he's just sitting there, and I came in here, and I thought I'd watch this guy, you know? Kari Byron: All right. Mr. Blythe: So I see this girl come into the coffee shop, and I think, "All right." [ Laughter ] Mr. Blythe: The next thing you know, there's this -- Kari Byron: All right, I'm out of here. [ Laughter ] Kari Byron: I've got a meeting. Mr. Blythe: Anyway, I'm watching this guy, and -- Kari Byron: You're the teacher. Mr. Blythe: I don't do anything. Kari Byron: Why did you take my book? Mr. Blythe: I didn't take your book. I was watching him. Kari Byron: But why did you read it? Mr. Blythe: I don't know. Kari Byron: That's kind of weird. Mr. Blythe: I didn't want to stand out. Kari Byron: All right. [ Laughter ] Mr. Blythe: So now I am up here, and I figure, "Let me just, you know, maybe ask him for his business card." So I come back over here, and he doesn't have a business card, so I say, "Give me a business card," and he says, "Well, I don't have one." Kari Byron: Oh, no. Mr. Blythe: I mean, some people think that the card is meant for the business. Kari Byron: Really? Mr. Blythe: Yeah, that's just one of those idiosyncrasies that I have. Kari Byron: We haven't introduced our student -- Mr. Blythe: Oh, I'm the instructor. Kari Byron: Oh, yeah, sorry. Our student. I mean, I guess we could bring him up here, if he would like. Mr. Blythe: Well, now he's -- Kari Byron: He seems like a nice kid. Mr. Blythe: I don't know him well enough. Kari Byron: You never had lunch with him? Mr. Blythe: No. Kari Byron: You don't know him that well. Mr. Blythe: I never tried him. Kari Byron: Maybe we could try it. Maybe we could try him out. Mr. Blythe: What about what I do? Kari Byron: What do you mean? Mr. Blythe: I mean, what do you mean about try? Kari Byron: I mean, do we know him? Mr. Blythe: I have just watched him with this computer, and I have seen you come out here, but, you know, you see a lot of people. Kari Byron: You have just seen him in the computer lab. Mr. Blythe: Are you trying to tell me that he's just been sitting at the computer all day? Kari Byron: What about when I walked by? Mr. Blythe: There are thousands of people walking past there. Kari Byron: All right. Mr. Blythe: I mean, he must have been doing something. Kari Byron: Oh. Mr. Blythe: Somebody was messing with the computer by hitting keys. Kari Byron: It's just been here all day, typing. Mr. Blythe: He's been here all day in the computer lab? Kari Byron: Yeah, but if you look around the building, there's hundreds and hundreds of computer labs and people using them, so I don't know what you're trying to say about him. Mr. Blythe: Well, I'm saying that there's an extraordinary effort around here to take care of all these computers, and, you know, sometimes I think that it's very strange that when we do this, we get called into meetings, and we're interviewed by the police and by people from the local paper, and, you know, I mean, I guess that's to some extent understandable, because they are doing something wrong. And then there are all the people who work here, and there's, you know, this guy who runs into here and uses the computer, and maybe it's because he doesn't have a computer, you know? I mean, there's probably a ton of people who are not even involved with computers, and they would think, you know, that it's silly. But anyway, my point is that a lot of the time we get interviewed, and I think people are curious. I think people wonder what the computer lab is doing. We don't even have any signs that say that you can come in and use the computer here. It's more like the computer lab is hiding in plain sight. You walk by, and you think, "There's a computer over there." You walk past the computer lab, and you think, "There's no computers here." Kari Byron: Yeah, it's pretty much a secret. Mr. Blythe: They are just plainly in plain sight, and I think that they're being handled, too. I just -- I think there's a lot of unnecessary stuff around here. I think people don't understand that -- Kari Byron: Do you think he was typing something? Mr. Blythe: I don't know. I didn't ask him. Kari Byron: Oh. Mr. Blythe: Okay, here is something for you, as the student. Kari Byron: You think he's lying? Mr. Blythe: I think he's lying, and I don't think he cares
