WHAT IS A TEKKIE?⌨

Y2T or Tekkies are born from the feeling of longing for the old internet.They're digital creatures that can live inside an old PC, a cassette player, an USB, an old cellphone, etc. As long as it's old tech made in the 2000s they'll call it a home. They don't speak any known language but are able to communicate between them with electronic synthetic sounds and beeps.

WHERE CAN I GET ONE?
