Ok a “box set” or a dvd with a bunch of videos! Then they could build a vcr-dvd player combo to watch it on…and maybe…just maybe if they are advanced enough, they could also figure out how to get that stupid time display to stop flashing 12:00!!!
they’d think that all humans were well balanced, and nice… and could do cool tricks on one wheel, then they would all build super high-tech unicycles that never break…
well if they found a CD/DVD they probably wouldnt know wot the F*** to do with it.
I mean you’d need to give them a DVD/cd player probably a computer as well cause they probably would have no idea how to decode our binary data, then you’d have to hope they were able to see a computer screen… you’d also have to hope they dont destroy it before it boots…
That advanced civilization would see the quest for the perfect crank length as a pivotal point in human development into becoming a Utopian and peaceful society.
(I had initially misread the introduction thread.)
I just can’t believe that one! in just 30 years from now nobody would be able to decode a CD-rom content! (I just can’t decode things that I kept coded in 1984!).
I think the aliens will think that according to the size of this strange necklace then those who bore those beautiful jewells had a very very narrow neck!
And so, I am going to change the scenaro a bit then…there was a reading device in the pod AND a hard copy that John Foss printed up for prosperity…and copies in Esperanto, Latin, and Mandarin.
Boy, when the aliens read this, they are going to get a good laugh…
