flashlight. Rebuilding? Without the existing
infrastructure
(in the wilderness), how many people would be capable of
building/making ANYTHING? Other than Tony, could you make a
battery? a bulb?
I'd have to think for a bulb. I'd have plenty of time
while growing the spuds for a battery though :-)
Do you really know how to extract the
materials needed from the ground?
The best way is to get someone else to do the digging.
Who said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology
is
indistinguishable from magic." ?
That was my thesis, thank you for reading it.
Arthur C Clarke also said it, possibly a little
earlier (but once I get bulb and battery sorted, I'm
moving straight onto the time machine and the subsequent
law suit :-))
