Tyson honestly loves technology.
He loves engineering, taking things apart and seeing how they work, making new things. Seeing new things and advancements that others have made.
Talking to Mischief about his nanobots is one of Tyson’s favourite things in the universe. He is always in awe of how Moriarty’s mind works, but there is a special joy in getting to see how the nanobots have changed and evolved in the time that Tyson has known Jim.
One of the few indulgences Tyson allows himself with his money and the web’s resources to get his hands on the newest technology, to see how it works and what he can do with it. Most of this ends up in his warehouse, to tinker with, but little pieces end up scattered around Tyson’s apartment; inevitably.
