Description Wood, Acrylics, diffrent things and more wood by Danny Hennesy

I remeber when I was a youngling ages and millenia ago, some of the cavemen at that time wanted to do what no other torglodyte ever had done, the invented the computer, it was a lot of effort to put in just keeping it to make a simple calculation like 2 + 1 / 3 or simmilar mathematical problem, we had to use 36 neandethal guys at some kind of tread mills to get it going, divert an entire flood at the size of the Donaub (or was it mor like the Nile?) to a water wheer, keep 32 medium sized fires alive to steam the water...

still this was an amazing discovery, although non of us really could count at that time, so our elder had to invent numbers so we could have some use with this binary machine and marvel of thechnology, we were all very amazed and may I add that I was the one who invented the shape of numeber 6 actually it was quite easy because Dave the Cro Mangon had allready invented number nine and I was a tricky devil so I just turned it around (wich confused all the other half monkeys)...

Anyway every night we woud gather around one of theese camp fires and try to outsmart this high tech computing machine, give it new amazing matemathical problems to solv, of cause the was one problem (ecept for it size 3 square kilometers) it was very slow, an equation of 3 - 2 would take about 64 hours to make (if the neanderthals did the work at the tread mills good enough and one of the fires didn´t go out)

Anyway people (eeh I meant to say cavemen) from all around would walk for months and years to see this marvel...
That was a good income to our tribe since even then tourism had it economical advantages, they would have to bring us gifts to try it out or just have a look at it, food, precious sea shells, colored clay, pet parots, skin and diamons (wich wasn´t much favoured at the time, I wish we just hadn´t trown them all away as useless crap) but we never had to hunt or make our own bread ever after...

Well after this the technical evolution went pretty fast, this is a 12 byte USB memory also steam powered from around the first years after we discovered the computer.
Yes very fast I wish our brains had evolved at the same speed (I mean fucking hell we are still cavemen) soon the C64 was invented and we could play Packman and way of the exploding fist...

Sadly enough it had some impact on our culture, or the cosyness of our culture, the camfire evenings was never really as cosy again when all the cellphones and handheld computergames came and since we got all the food and stuff we never went hunting and bery picking anylonger, well we picked digital berries in games like WonderBoy and got some mushrooms in supermario, but yeah it never really was the same thing from then on...

quite a pitty, but sure I remeber it like yesterday, I am so happy I kept this USB memory as a reminder of thoose days...

Peace and Noise!
