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  :-)

    If I had five copies of myself I would make one go to school, two to do my chores, one to do my homework but it would hace to be done really well because I wouldn' t want to fail and last but not least one to go to bed on time so I can stay up as long as I want. :p

    If I was to have five capies of my self I would send them to do things that I would rather not do. I would send them to do things like, help my mom clean the kitchen and also clean the house. I would get my other selfs to read books for asignments and to paint things and constructe things since it would make it the same way I would do it bec ause its me.

    Good idea to get your other selfs to clean, do homework and clean your rabbits cage. But you still wouldn't be able to do any thing you forgot to mention that you would make it go to school.

    Its a good idea to get your other self to take care of you. It would get every thing right because its you. you would'nt have to explain your self.
