Past, Present, Future – Round Three

This week’s seed idea should be pretty obvious. But then, I’ve always been an inventive sort of guy…

PAST – Things rarely work out the way we originally intend for them to. This phenomenon is most obvious in the fields of technology and invention. Imagine what you would say to someone, assuming you had a way to send a message to the past, about what their creation has wrought in the world.

PRESENT – We’re all clever folks here. If you were suddenly imbued with inventive genius, what spectacular innovation would you create?

FUTURE – It’s the year 2050 and you’re obligated to contact your friends and family to wish them well during the holiday season. (Why? Because you’re a nice person.) Back in the 90’s you might have used a cellular phone or perhaps electronic mail, but those days are long gone. Now you use… what?

No “seed idea” credits this week, as this inspiration just struck me out of the blue about fifteen minutes ago. You’re always free to email me (via the link right below the duck logo) any seed ideas you might have for future PPFs. As I did last week, my answers will appear later in the day in the comment file. And remember, if you don’t leave a comment then nobody will know you answered this week’s challenge!

    I didn’t scold. Much. 😉

    Past: I’d send Edison a portable CD player, some batteries, and an N*Sync or Brittany Spears disc. And a note reading, “Damn you all to hell!”

    Present: Levitation technology, preferably scaling it to backpack size. Commute by air, baby!

    Future: Sensory-immersion messaging delivered via brain-jacks. Or just an AOL/TW/Hallmark/MSN greeting card, one of the two.

    Done, and on time this week, despite the lameness of said answers. No scolding from the Greyduckie this week.

    Better late than never? Sorry I wasn’t so inspired during this one. It’s been that kind of a day…or something.
