Tales from the Missionary Hut: The Wind Up

worldwrite
The wind up is a small gadget with big uses. This seemingly normal handle is a device designed to power any electrical appliance by simply winding it up. Tipped to become the century’s most important invention preventing trillions of units of carbon emissions from polluting the air, reports suggest the wind up could reverse the effects of global warming within our lifetime.

    • Who needs to focus on stuff like reliable health care or agricultural infrastructure when you can charge up you iPod with ease now? The world is saved!

    • What a wind-up! A great piece of satire which says so much with some simple humour: love the allusion to 'quick fix' solutions that conveniently breeze over the part that involves hard work and dedication and yet are somehow meant to solve everyone's problems. What will the next great invention be? Surely a device to convert patronisation into food; that would surely spell the end of world hunger!
