RE: #FollowTheWriter - Week 4: Write to WIN STEEM & Read to FollowTheWriter!
There were many ways in which I could start distributing ELKON 2.0. I could, of course, go from house to house giving out the substance to anyone and everyone. But then again, does absolutely everyone deserve to survive? In the end, it would take me more than a thousand lifetimes to distribute ELKON 2.0 to everyone still standing on this planet.
I remember that once (very long ago) there was a certain philosophy for creating new technologies, which soon took the shape of life for many people altogether. That philosophy, of course, is "open source".
People used to share their ideas, their work, all in hopes of someone else picking up that information and expanding on its principles, making it better, improving it, or at least using it for a certain good.
Those were great principles, but they existed in the world with internet, the good days when everyone was interconnected by the screens of their computers. Nowadays, these devices are simply useless as they're all disconnected. The only things people use them for is making calculations or keeping notes. That is, of course, only if you have a solar panel since the power grid was destroyed many years ago. You gotta be greatly thankful to your grandparents if that is the case!
Finally, a solution hit me with a baseball bat. I will write easy to follow documentation on a single page and print it on thousands of pieces of paper. I know that my neighbor has a solar panel, he must have a working printer! Each of these papers will have a note that asks for the receiver to find a scanner and scan that page, only to pass on the instruction sheets to everyone who they know, who doesn't own a copy already.
Sun starts looking over the horizon, I run out of my house to talk to my neighbor Cornwall.
This will work, this has to work, this will definitely work!
