Life Lived in New and Better Ways

“The sky is the limit.” [2]In my visit to the twenty first century, the items and machines I viewed there were truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring. These items that I describe here make life more enjoyable, easier and efficient. [5]As These items make tasks that were once extremely time consuming and inefficient quick and easy, they allow people to spend time doing the things they enjoy. Using the magic leaver, you could create light with a flick of your finger. Using the automatic book maker, you can create duplicates of your books within seconds. [3]Finally, the man-controlled bird is not only a fun way experience the sky but also a way to view the world “through the eagles eye.”

[1]I wish you could have seen the magic button that could be flipped to create light.  I saw a lever in the room, I wondered what it was. A man walked to it and casually pushed the lever up and a magical light appeared. The gentleman showed me the lever. He said that when you push the lever up it started something called electricity and it went to a “bulb”. [4]Thinking it would never work, I flicked the lever with the tip of my finger, and Wow! the light turned on once again, which greatly amazed me. The bulb is equivalent to an oil lamp and is very bright. This bulb is a very good invention from the twenty-first century.

            Next up is the automatic book maker. If I put a piece of paper in it, it will put words on it. Also, if you put a page with words on the book making machine, it will make a questionable sound, and then put the same words on a different paper. Using the automatic book maker, no person is needed to copy a book by hand, which is a huge advantage. It only takes 7 seconds to fashion a duplicate. With the automatic book maker, you can easily make books.

             Last of all is the man-controlled bird. The bird has four wings that turn like a very fast potters’ wheel. The man has a black brick with levers to control the bird. The bird was very fast and even showed the man what it saw. There were many different colored lights that shown brightly in the night sky. It was a very clever bird.  I can’t say I entirely understand the bird or its purposes, but it caught my fancy.

            I am still fascinated by the automatic light creator. The book making machine still boggles my imagination.  The man-controlled bird intrigues me by its ability to quickly respond to the man’s complex instructions. These inventions revealed ways in which man could live life more efficiently. Life for people in the twenty-first century is faster, easier and more interesting. People with these items can spend time on pursuits they desire because of the efficiency of these machines. These inventions help people in meaningful ways each day. These discoveries help people to live life in new and better ways.
