General Science / If the world came to an end what would you save?
« on: 02/02/2013 19:36:31 »
Hello all,
I had this idea and thought it might be interesting. Imagine if civilization came to an end tomorrow, and that you somehow were transported into the future where humanity survives but with none of our current technology or understanding of science.
What would you teach them? E.g. Would you teach them how to generate electricity, or about the germ theory of disease? How would you explain it? I am also assuming that the English language survives, or that you are able to communicate with them in their own language. The new future human civilization are what we would consider to be hunter-gatherers. They already possess the technology of fire, spears etc.
I couldn't find it having been asked previously using the search feature, but I'm sorry if it's been asked before. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. I'm looking forward to seeing some cool ideas.
