Exercise #304: Self Knowledge
Posted 2/20/09

Pick the most astounding development you've witnessed in your lifetime. Cellular phones? Sliced bread? Braille on drive-through ATMs?

Show us why this astounds you.

You may, if you prefer, show a character answering the question.

Critiquers, as always be careful critiquing these self-knowledge exercises. Tip: see if the “astoundingness” of it comes through for you.
