Library+of+Imagination

Welcome to the Library of Imagination as described by Ninu and Melody:

Items: Nuclear Bomb. This represents the human impulse to eliminate one another when threatened. Throughout the centuries, weapons keep getting deadlier. The nuclear bomb was an unfortunate invention which can be used to kill many people without putting others in harm's way.

The SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) gives people the ability to explore depths of water that would otherwise be impossible to explore without air. To dive, oxygen is needed and one would need to figure that out along with being able to store it in a tank that would resist pressure. 

Computer. This device is a way to receive, transmit, share, and store information. Almost anyone can find what they are looking for through the use of a computer. You can do anything from talking with friends to completing homework to playing games.  Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The charter provides equal rights and freedoms to Canadian citizens, and is embedded into the Constitution. Prior to this, was the Bill of Rights which was often ignored by the judicial system. The charter was an improvement of the Bill of Rights.[|The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms] Telescope. People have always wondered what was beyond Earth and invented a way to see it. Through the telescope, people could see stars and planets. Telescopes provided an insight into what was outside of our atmosphere and how even the greatest monarchs were small in comparison.  Motion Picture. Motion pictures are a way to translate morals and concepts to large amounts of people. The story can be anything you want to convey and can sometimes show what might be possible. Different films communicate different aspects of humanity such as comedy or drama, or in the form of non-fiction such as a documentary. media type="youtube" key="IErXg5kBXXg?fs=1" height="385" width="480" Vaccine. Prior to vaccines, people were dying of diseases. With the invention of vaccine, scientists created immunity for the general population to certain diseases by injecting a small amount of the dead disease cells into the body. As a result of the vaccine, many diseases have been eliminated or controlled to avoid making us sick. Car. The car transformed the world in the way of transportation. It took many people with great ideas to get the car the working the way it is today. Before the car was horses and carriages which could be unpredictable. The car gave people stability and control over their transportation.



The Thinker. Many people express their creativity through art. The Thinker was made by Auguste Rodin and represents philosophy, internal struggle, and deep thinking. A combination of artistry and intellect make this statue the essence of the capability of human imagination.  <span style="display: block; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Plough. People are always trying to make their lives easier. The plough made less work of cultivation, and was more efficient than doing it by hand. This agricultural instrument lessend the work load for farmers, but also brought up nutrients from the soil. By hand, this process would be very arduous, and take up too much time in a farmer's day. The plough helps provide more food and makes our lives today possible. <span style="background-clip: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[|The Invention of the Plough] The human imagination comes from the brain and that inspired the design for our building. In this front view, you can see the frontal lobe where the main entrance is located. The windows on the building show how you can look out at the possibilities in the world. Inside the building, there are staircases beginning from the bottom floor to the top. These symbolize how any idea can only go up from where it begins. A rainbow bridge in our building shows how imagination can be unlimited and the ideas are rich like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Top Three Items Which Represent Human Imagination Ninu Forrest

1) Computer Technology 2) Evolution of Transport 3) Music

After an extensive overview of our grade nine "Library of Imagination" page, I haved reached the conclusion that computer technology, the evolution of transport and music are the most significant items in our combined libraries. Computer technology has demonstrated many aspects of creativity in humans. Although the invention of the computer was important, many others needed to progress in the development of software and other devices in order for it to function in ways that would be easy for the general population. The computer brought communication, knowledge and sharing to the world through technology. From a revolutionary device that aided the government and military, to an item many people have for themselves, the computer changed how we access information. The second concept that represents the human imagination is the evolution of transportation. Numerous groups chose either the bicycle or car as an item in their libraries, and one group even chose the hovercraft. Transportation is constantly being improved and symbolizes the human need to make things easier. The bicycle and car have both done this for us in present day. The hovercraft, although available in the present, shows how the science behind transport is still in motion. Who knows what our world's transportation will look like in another 100 years? The final representation of human imagination is music. Throughout our existance, music has come to civilizations that did not have ways of contacting each other. Music is natural to humans, and reaches everyone in some way. Music can be expressed through song, dance or instruments. Whatever way one chooses to acknowledge it, it is there engrained in our minds. Every invention in humanity might deserve a place in the "Library of Imagination". We have to choose what best signifies our drive to learn more about the world we live in and how we can improve it. The "Library of Imagination" is an idea that everyone should think about. As individuals, it is important to look back on our past and see how we can change our future. These libraries can help us to do simply that and reflect upon what a great world we live in.
