    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? Let's say that the size of the object you choose is constrained by the size of the transport vehicle, roughly the size of a Greyhound bus. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

      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

      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[^]

        Hahaha! I wonder how long it would take before the thing got smashed to pieces. Wouldn't that be a "dark hour" for them? (Yes, I know that was cheesy. I do my best. :sigh: ). :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

                                      I would send nothing. Without the tremendous infrastructure required to support it, there is no single piece of technology that would remain even marginally useful for long enough to matter. It would end up being a an object of religious worship, with lots of myths about what it used to do...
