What If?

What if it didn't rain when Benjamin Franklin was flying his kite? We would have been deprived of electricity today.

What if Graham Bell was too lazy to work on his invention? All the night talkers and phone addicts would have strained and written letters on paper long enough to wrap the entire earth, for their loved ones.

What if Ray Tomilnson hadn't created the email? India Post wouldn't have had to scare away flies in their haunted offices, deprived of letters to deliver.

What if Amazon wasn't ever created, or adobe didn't ever create the pdf? We would have been smelling and opening rotten pages that turned yellow with age , and your grandpa would be reading you out stories from his grandpa's books, and you yawning wide enough to let in a thousand flies flutter in.

What if the W'right' brothers were always wrong? We would have still been  using oars, and would have developed fully grown 12-inch biceps from propelling the oar  in ships all way from India to America.

What if the refrigerator wasn't ever created? All the bellies grown from guzzling down chilled beers by the liter would have been absent and we have been a thinner, leaner planet.

What if the early man who struck fire first wasn't smart enough to strike stones to light fire? We would have had lesser people suffering from lung cancers, sans the smoking. Smoke doesn't come without fire.

What if Bill Gates didn't drop out of college or Mr. Babbage's father  didn't spare him a room to develop his computer? We would have still been punching cards or we would been a less greener planet with all the trees feeding our paper.

What if Steve Jobs wasn't fired by his employer? We wouldn't have had the blissful wonder called the iPod and we would still have carried bulky tape-players on our shoulders whenever we went out, and cassette making companies would still be raking in millions.

What if  the 'Spectrum' guys didn't get the idea of making an 'All In One' for examinations, that make graduates when passed? We would have better products called engineers coming out from college and a minds bright enough to light a 100 worlds.

What if the 70mm movie projector wasn't invented? We would still be running behind a touring van that shows movies on a white piece of cloth,swaying to the winds and people gaping in wonder, at their heroes as the film moves.

What if Adam was dumb, and didn't know what to do when beautiful Eve was next to him? We wouldn't have ever been born !!!!!  ;)

And the list goes on. . .
