Library+of+Imagination

10 things that Sarrah and I would put in our Library of Imagination:

__The World's First Camera__ The worlds first camera is a prime example of imagination. Who knew that you could actually capture a moment in time as a picture? Just the idea of that is enough to baffle the mind. The camera greatly influenced the world today. Without the invention of the camera, everything would be different. There would be no movies, pictures, nothing. When I try to picture the way the world would be now without the invention of the camera is next to impossible.

__The Telephone__ The telephone was really an ingenious invention. To be able to talk to people who were across town from you? Impossible! []

__The World's First Tools__ Tools definitely involve imagination. People had to use their imaginations to come up with/create different tools for different reasons. When you think about tools today, there are so many different ones that each have different purposes. These each involved some level of imagination.

__The World's First Book__ I figure that the world's first book was the Bible, probably in Latin or something. Books are obviously full of imagination of all kinds. Some people are extremely talented with writing stories and things. I have always struggled with finding inspiration for stories. Books require a huge amount of imagination of all different types. Even non-fiction novels require some amount of imagination with how you put the words together to engage the reader and to make them want to read more. Also, different people like different books. Some people like scary stories, some like mysteries, romance, comedy, manga, comics, poems, etc. It takes a lot of work to write a book that people actually want to read.



__The World's First Computer__ Computers have gone through many phases throughout the past decades. They used to be only used for certain things, and used to be very expensive. Through the years computers have gone from being huge, blocky, giants to small, sleek, sophisticated laptops. Now there are laptops, Computers, tablets, phones, etc. Computers nowadays are much more efficient than they used to be. They can hold more storage and do many more things than they could before.

__The World's First Steam Engine__ This is a diagram of what was considered to be the first steam engine. The sphere was moved by the steam exhaust rising through tubes by water vaporized in heating kettle. This stemmed many new inventions, like the train steam engine. []

__The World's First Sewing Machine__ [|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_machine#History_and_development]

__A Model of the Flag that Apollo 11 put on the Moon__ For this, we figured that since putting the moon in our library was pretty ridiculous, we decided to just make a downsized model of it. This really symbolizes imagination because for the longest time, everyone said that getting to the moon was impossible. But look at where we are now in terms of space exploration! [|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11#Lunar_surface_operations] __The World's First Car__ I love the look of the world's very first cars. They look so regal and important. The evolution of cars is a huge one. In under a century cars have been created, modified, expanded on, and improved. Imagine back then, having traveled by horse and carriage, and all of a sudden being able to actually drive your own car? Craziness! It must've taken so long back then to get anywhere, I would've been so impatient! [] __The Worlds First Lightbulb__ This was an ingenious invention. Before this people used candles and candle chandeliers. Rooms were very dark, and reading was difficult. The invention of the lightbulb changed all of that.
