Computers in the Caprica series are both seen and used as conveniences, with the greater improvements in computer technology reserved for the financially well-off.
Computing circa 42YR is often deployed in numerous interfaces, including a mix of e-sheets, touchscreen monitor interfaces, standard computers of both laptop and desktop configurations, and via holoband V-world networks.
While mobile telephones are prevalent in Colonial society, the prevalence of a "smart phone" does not seem to have held in the upper-crust of Caprican society, relying solely on holoband and e-sheet technology for texting (CAP: "Pilot" and "Reins of a Waterfall").
Digital Networks[edit]
The digital networks of the Twelve Colonies appear to be interconnected in real-time, suggesting high-speed wireless technologies between the Colonies.
Each colony appears to have its own unique three-letter identifier for sites, otherwise known as a Colony code top-level domain[1], e.g. .cap for Caprica (CAP: "Retribution").
Interconnected Homes[edit]
The Graystone Estate is an example of an interconnected home, which features interconnected electronic security systems housing its own digital server with satellite backup, in addition to visual window-screens in lieu of separate television sets.
A robotic butler of virtual intelligence, Serge, offers a practical means of interface for guests (CAP: "Pilot", "Rebirth" and "Reins of a Waterfall"). Its use is off-putting to some, such as Clarice Willow, and suggests that such technology is nascent (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy").
