Innovation

What if television hadn’t been invented?

Now you have to stay home with your family and find something to do to fill the time.

This is like when a rainstorm hits that cabin on the beach and the power goes out.

There is no timeline for when the power will come back on and you can focus on the blue tube instead of being creative with your time.

Phone service will only last as long as the battery then you are stuck looking at each other.

Cards, board games, puzzles just pass the time until the electricity comes back on.

Now is the time to be innovative.

Build a kite out of whatever supplies you have. When it flies everyone will feel the accomplishment.

Cook whatever supplies you have on a burner and everyone chip in the ingredients. It will be the best meal of your life.

Without a camera take a picture of a memorable scene and sketch it in the sand. The waves will wash it away but you will always remember.

Make up a song or a poem or create a story of the moment. Present a play where everyone is an actor or a dancer or a musician.

When the power does come back, you’ll forget about television and digital electronic devices for a while.

Then it will end in a memory.
