Kiln People

Kiln People  is novel written by David Brin and I can't say as though I have read it (and therefore can't recommend it), but the concept of the novel is rather interesting.

Kiln People, is about a society where you can create clay copies of yourself to do various tasks (e.g. mental tasks, dangerous tasks etc.) while you do something else.  Then at the end of the day, you download their memories back into you. 

So, here is a pretty deep question for this week.  If you had 5 copies of yourself to use this week, what would you have them do? 

Once you have completed your answer, read and respond to at least 2 peers.

As always, I can't wait to see your responses. 

Mr. Boettger  :-)

    With the second one i would make him bike down a huge mountian or hill and then hit a huge jump.
    With the thrid one i would make him ride a snowmobile down a huge mountian or hill and make hime hit a jump at the bottom and do some crazy trick off the bottom jump.
    With the fourth one i would make make a huge jump and then make the guy hit the huge jump on a dirt bike and i would make him do backflips and stuff.
    With the 5th one i would make hyim hit a jump on a dirt bike and make him try to gap the grand canyon.
