Explain a fishing license to someone from the 1800's, thats just ridiculous.

Ok:
The liscencing and the rules, programs, and stedwardship that are supported through their revenue the only reason there are fish left to catch.

You have a book that you can use to read any book or see any painting anywhere. If you write or draw things in the book other people see them. You can also talk to people through the book, they can hear you and talk back. It is a broad forum for the desimination of information, the exchange of ideas, culture, amd beliefs... but is pretty much dominated by pornogrophy and domestic felines.

Not getting into movies/videos...already going to be loony or a witch in their eyes.

Dearest stranger, I do give you many thanks for this lucid regaling of this wondrous book. If I could trouble you for a few more precious moments… this ‘pornography’ you speak of…

My grandfather was born in 1888 and died in 1989. He grew up in the tip top of the Texas panhandle and at about 12 years old he spent a summer helping on one of the last open range cattle drives. 20 something years later he owned the first car in his town. Later he bought a plane and dusted crops for himself and other ranchers/farmers and used to love to tell us about how he went from walking to riding horses to driving cars and then flying planes. As an old man, he loved nothing more than to fly on "jet planes" and visit far away places he never dreamed of when he was a young cowboy. He would have never dreamed of atomic bombs in the early 20th century. Nothing made him more proud than having a son who worked for NASA and helped send rockets to the moon. At some point he owned a boot making company in Amarillo that used hammers and punches and machines powered by the people who operated them.

I remember at his 100th birthday how impressed he was with my car phone, but I doubt very seriously that it would have taken much to explain to him the concept of a fishing license.

You will need to purchase a salt water license.

I believe that (as in most states) the DWF is one of the least corrupt state government departments. People who are drawn to that service usually do so because of a natural love of the outdoors, conservation, etc. No one goes into it for the money or political connections they might make. People there usually have an interest in the work they do. The state makes a lot of revenue from sport tourism, as well as taxes from all of the locals spending on gear and equipment. As mentioned before, without their management our waters would have been fished out decades ago. They do good work. I'd say their cost to benefit ratio is among the highest in government.

And explain that you can no longer own people.

If only everything could stay the same as they were in the 1800s.

A movie is basically just just a series of still frames ... they even had something in the early 1800s called a zoetrope which was a series of still paintings illuminated by candlelight, also had flip books which are even simpler actually how almost all cartoon animation was done prior to the 80s.

You had sound recordings as early as 1860 - granted they were very crude.

Of course there are huge gaps between those old devices and modern devices, not just in quality, but you used to be able to see their inner workings. As late as analog film, you could pick up the movie reel and literally see all the small images, then its just matter of a backlight, moving the reel and the proper speed, and the optics of the projector. Even with a record player you could correlated the movement of the needle so you know there was a mechanical process underneath which isn't all that different than say a mechanical player piano.

But with the digital revolution, all that is gone. An iPhone may as well be magic, even to most modern people. Even with a basic understanding of electronics is just scratching the surface. It would be almost hopeless for anyone, even an expert, to reproduce an iPhone without the tech the modern world already has in place.
