Communicating 1 image to humans 10000 years ago?
We discussed this topic during one of my visual communication lectures and I'm intrigued to hear your suggestions.
If you were to communicate with whatever human civilization inhabiting the planet 10000years ago with only a single visual image, what would your message be? Why do you find that image essential?
I figured a description of fire :P Assuming they didnt have fire. Otherwise ide send a flat global map showing continentso and their future continental orientation.

The continents would look pretty much like they do right now 10,000 years ago.

My brother and I once got into a conversation about living "now" vs. "then." He said, "Right now, I don't have to worry about being eaten by bears." I agreed.

i want to go back about 70 years in time with an ipad (for large screen and wireless capability) and play an action movie for the people back then, then tell them its the news in 70 years.
i would then tell them that the only way to avoid that kind of horrible future is to legalize all drugs and keep them legal.
what would i show people living 10,000 years ago? probably a picture of myself doing something that looked cool. then i would tell them im the son of god so i would be worshipped.

Tubgirl. The photo is a testament to humanity's indomitable will to overcome and rise above any barriers in our way... it is a symbol of our innate freedom and a spirit that aims at the stars. It is... Tubgirl.
