Library+of+Human+Imagination

=Building Design:= = None of the videos or songs came up when I copied and paisted. Look on Mathews site for those. Thanks =

===[[#Building Design:--We designed our library to look like a human head with the top pulled off so you can see the "brain" inside. The reason we did this is because the only reason we can imagine is because we have brains. The outer section of the head acts as a wall to keep trespassers out. The eyelids open and close as doors and the right eye is the entrance and the left is the exit. Between the brain and the walls, there is a Physik garden/ walkway. We decided that the brain part goes two floors under ground and is one floor above. When you walk into the door, which is between the right and left side of the brain in the crevice at the front, you see one huge room that has all of our items in it. The Items are on little cradles made out of veins lining the outside of the room. Each item has a little explanation on it's origins and how it is used. On the front side of the second floor down is our interactive part of the museum. It includes the Lego room, which is full of Lego for kids to play with. The other room on the second floor is the computer room. It is full of computers from different years for people to try to figure out (we made this room specially for Mr. Janzen). In the day time the museum is naturally lit, there are little crevices in the brain to let light in. There are also a lot of mirrors to reflect the light towards the places where there are not windows. At night time we use light that our solar panels have produced in the day. Our building also includes an OMNIMAX theatre where we play scientific shows. The theatre takes up the back side of the bottom two floors. Here is an advertisement for one of our shows...]]We designed our library to look like a human head with the top pulled off so you can see the "brain" inside.

=Items= = = =Penicillin= ===We put penicillin in our library of human imagination because, come //on,// it's MOULD that's an ANTIBIOTIC!=== ===Is there ANYTHING cooler than that? Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, and, as TIME Magazine states:===

"It was a discovery that would change the course of history."
= = =The Wright Flyer=

 * The Wright Flyer-First Powered Flight ||

===The Wright Flyer demonstrates human imagination because it represents a new era of world travel, and was the world's first heavier-than-air powered flying machine. The Wrights' December 1903 flight proved that powered flight is possible (this achievement is the modern-day equivalent of landing on the moon).=== = = =Leonardo's Inventions=

 * One of Leonardo's many flying machines ||

===Leonardo da Vinci's engineering designs deserve to be in our library of human imagination because Leonardo Da Vinci had one of the most creative minds of all time. In addition to painting the Mona Lisa, he was an expert engineer (as you can see in the picture) and scientist.===

=The Lord of the Rings=

===We chose to put the Lord of the Rings in our library of human imagination because, like Da Vinci, Tolkien was one of the most creatvity people to walk the face of the earth. Although he did not paint a Mona Lisa or make any advancements in medicine, he created an entire fantasy that will please generations to come. From charismatic Gandalf, to the strange, ever so creepy Sméagol, every animal, person, and plant (yes, plant) is entertaining and yet just //barely// believable.===

=[|Computers]= ===Computers deserve to be in our Library of Human Imagination because they are one of the few fields where technology is developing faster then it can be sold. for example, there have been five generations of IPhone in the past 3 years. Also, as you can see above, computers have decreased in size so that what then took up a whole room now "fits inside a manilla envelope"=== = =

= = = The Ford Model T = ===On September 27 1908 the very first Ford Model "T" was put on the market. It was regarded as the worlds first affordable automobiles and was the car that really popularised the automobile. The Ford Model "T" however, was not the worlds first car, but it was the first car to have a production line with completly interchangable parts. This is what made it so innovative and efficient. Because of this, it made a popular mode of transportation for the middle class. You can tell that Henry Ford (the inventor) was a determined, creative and imaginative man because this is what he said about the Ford Model "T" before production.=== ==="I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one—and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces."===

=[|The Snuggie]= ===Imagine being able to hold your drink and switch the channel while staying cozy! Well, if you have never heard of the Snuggie prepare to be blown away. The Snuggie is an engineering masterpiece which permits you to do just this. This is why we think that the Snuggie would be perfect for the library of imagination. The Snuggie is just like a blanket but... IT HAS SLEEVES!!===

=Lego bricks= ===Lego was invented in 1934 by a toy maker by the name of Golfred. Lego consists of many different rectangular plastic pieces that fit on top of each other. Lego really deserves to be in the imagination library not only because of the creative idea of interlocking blocks, but also because of the billions of different things you can make out of it. The Lego exhibit in our museum would be an interactive one. There would be a room full of Lego for kids to play with.=== = = =**[|Music]**= ===From hip hop to classical to rock, music is one of the most diverse things. Music can make you sad, happy or even angry, and with a little creativity, you can make music whatever you want it to be. It is because of these traits that we put "music" in our library. It is amazing that every ancient civilization in the world had their own kind of music and that it was all different. Listen to the different styles.===

= = = = = = = = = Record player, CD player, iPod (evolution) = ===Imagine being able to listen to a song that someone played 30 years ago, on another continent. Well over the years science has been perfecting the hand held music device, also known as an ipod. It is amazing to look at how the music player has evolved over the years and this amazing advancement in technologie is what makes it perfect for the library of imagination.===

===__**The record**__: The record player was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. The record was an ingenious invention, it had many little spiral grooves in it which went up and down. When he put the record in the machine the pin would vibrate in these grooves making the sound. This was the first time in history where people could listen to music without actually having to be there when it was played.===

===__**The CD Player:**__ In 1982 the first CD player was released with Billy Joe'ls //52 street// being the first album//.// CDs were much smaller than records and were much more reliable than records because of there laser reading system which was what made them so popular.===

===__**The Ipod**__:On September 27, 2001, Steve Jobs changed portable music player technology when he released the apple Ipod. The Ipod could play many more songs than the CD player and was much smaller. It also included a screen which displayed songs.===

Top Three Items of all museums... You are most creative and imaginative when you have not been influenced by the ideas of others. For instance, when you're reading a book and then you see the movie, you will almost always picture the faces of the actors as those of the ones of the book after that point. I chose the top three items while thinking of this idea. I wanted to get items that were new for their time and had not been influenced by other ideas or people; only the inventor. The items I decided on were the wheel, the first sketches of the flying machines, and the light bulb. The wheel is such a simple invention. it takes gravity and uses it to it's advantage creating an even force on both sides. For us the wheel is an ordinary every day thing. But imagine being a cave man having never seen one and inventing it. That would take tons of imagination and would have been revolutionary for it's time. Leonardo De Vinci was one of the most amazing people to ever live. In a time where people hadn't even invented cars, he was taking it a notch higher and was designing flying machines. These machines would have worked too, if he only had a motor. This demonstrates true imagination. The light bulb, was invented in 1879 by Thomas Edison. It was so amazing for it's time because it was so different than anything else that anyone had ever seen. The only thing that could be compared to it was the candle. The light bulb changed the way we live today because it is so practical and useful. These three items are all very unique creative and all have a huge impact on modern society. That is why I think they are the top three items in all of our museums.
