7. If you could introduce one new idea or material thing to a primitive culture, what would it be? 


 I would choose to show Native Americans the Brita water filter. I would like to show them electricity but theres enough pollution in this world already. It would come in handy many times to have filtering bottles around. There would be less sick people from drinking dirty water since it cleans out most impurities. Water also taste better when its been purified by Brita. Maybe it would help the future if we had started with something along the lines of Brita. There would be less plastic waste from water bottles now since we would be purifying water from the tap. About 70% of the plastic bottles go to waste and are not recycled. It takes up to 2,000 times more energy to produce a bottle of water than it does to produce tap water. This product is what our present world needs. It needs it way more than any primitive culture.
