It's my second day in a row to post! Not a record, but YAY I'm back for another day (don't worry I'll only celebrate for a few more days).
Today's prompt courtesy of www.dailypost.wordpress.com is:
NASA is building a new Voyager spacecraft that will carry the best of modern human culture. What belongs onboard?
I prefer to answer this in list format (because I love lists!) and in no particular order:
|
Paderno World Cuisine Rouet Spiral Slicer |
- cheese
- spiral veggie cutter (because seriously, who doesn't love noodle veggies?)
- microwave (hopefully, whoever finds it will have electricity)
- refrigerator
- air conditioner / heater
- indoor plumbing & shower
- music player (be it a cd or mp3 player)
- crop irrigation system
- sewing machine
- industrial manufacturing machines
- dry erase markers
- velcro
- sleep machine
- books
|
Okay, WiFi is pretty important too! |
Ok - I don't want to make an exhaustive list because I don't know how big this spacecraft is. I love technology, but I don't think that it's necessarily the "best" of modern human culture. While it makes information more accessible and daily life easier - I feel lucky for some of the "given" things we take for granted (indoor plumbing, temperature regulators, mass manufacturing technology). While I could (and did) go without a phone / smartphone in my pocket, I don't think I would last too long in a world where I had to go outside and dig a hole to relieve myself. Plus technology fails - books are forever :)
What would you add or remove?
