    First of all, who's to say that the planet would end up having humans on it? Even if the planet itself (and all it's atmospheric gases) was exactly the same as Earth was - it doesn't mean that evolution would occur in the exact same manner... But anyway, that aside... If it had to be a piece of our modern technology - I'd send them my phone (Sony Ericsson K750i) because it's cool and they can take pictures of one another with it so that the humans around 10,000 years after them can save themselves the trouble of trying to figure out what their primitive ancestors looked like and such. But, if it were for a bit of fun - I'd send them a roll of duct tape and possibly some bubble wrap. I'm sure they'd find a good use for the tape (I always do, it always seems to come in handy!) and the bubble wrap can give them hours of entertanment... Come on... admit it... we ALL love popping bubble wrap every now and again! :)

      oooo giving another animal a chance at global domination... Good idea... Never thought of that one... I like it! What kind of animal do you think it would be? If humans weren't in the picture that is.

        Reptiles already had a chance. Humans are nothing more than bi-pedal, big-brained mammals. Let's go with insects. Really big insects. :omg: "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." - Martin Mull

          Let's suppose, just for fun, that scientists discovered a planet which we could easily travel to within a few weeks and that planet had life on it. The life forms were basically like humans of 10,000 years ago. If you were given the chance to send one piece of our modern technology to the human-like life forms on that planet, what would it be and why?

            Insects rule the Earth, that's for sure. We humans might think that we're the king of the hill, but when we're dead and gone (all of us), the Earth will look like it has for millions of years...swarming with insects! :josh: My WPF Blog[^]
