The movie starts with a quote from Socrates
Employ your time in improving yourself by other
peoples writings, so that you shall gain easily
what others have labored hard for.
Socrates

Our story starts with a worldmap. The time is
1.500.000 BC. Years start to pass by really fast.
We can see the years passing by.
1.500.000 BC

• Narrator Ahem !. Oh, yes, the world ! It was a
  long time ago, and our story starts with the man
  kinds first success.

6
When the time comes around 1.000.000 BC
1.000.000 BC

• Narrator The man learned to control the fire
  (sound tone Powerful and excited)

7
As years pass by, new flames appear and the
narrator tones gets less excited as the number of
flames increase.
980.431 BC
Narrator And the man learned to controle the
fire... and the man learned to controle the
fire... and the man learned to control the
fire...(sound tone getting less powerfull and
less excited)
8
The fire is invented over and over again so
many times, in different places. Flames cover the
world, and fluent scene transation occours, now
we are about to see the discovery of fire.
955.177 BC
9
Narrator Ah yes, this is the mighty man I was
talking about.. He is the father of all
inventors, HE IS THE MAN ! (cheers the man, he is
happy and proud because of the words of narrator)
10
Happily and proudly, our man takes his invention
and looks for other men, so that he can show and
talk about his discovery.
Narrator Our man, the teacher of all, will now
share his wisdom with the others.. Ow.. Hold a
sec. Whats that? Aaa. The others are cooking?
But, amm.. Then, sorry man! Youre just a little
late.
11
The camera turns to stars, and the schene
changes back to worldmap. Starting from the date
it left. The time stars to move again, faster.
As time passes by (and the narrator
speaks) several symbols of inventions appear on
the map

Narrator After the mans finding, a new era of
discovery has started. As the time passed by,
many other man spent their life on discoveries
and inventions. Unfortunately, some spent their
life on the achievements that others found before.
12
The time is about 200 BC. In the world map, we
see several symbols representing the places where
there is a discovery very smiliar or perhaps the
very same of Archimedes principle. These
symbols appear at different years and the time
always grows. The same story as the invention of
fire happens again.
204 BC
Narrator Ah, now we came to the era where
things started to go crazy. With the passion of
men for discovery, something strange started to
happen when people discovered some facts. The
ecstasy of discovery made the desire to share the
wisdom irresistable. Have you ever heared about
the word Eureka, or the story of some men
running naked in the streets? Not my kind if you
ask me !
13
Now we are going to see 3 different scenes,
each tells the story of the discovery of
Archimedes principle. Each of these guys
discover this principle, perhaps unaware of each
other. They all shout someway and naked. But, we
all only know the history of Archimedes and his
Eureka.
170 BC
1.123 BC
120 BC
Narrator describes these discoverys in the
order of dates. His tone differs as he starts to
repeat himself.
14
The scene is back to the world map and time
came to the 1400s. We are about to learn the
explorers of America. There will be Turks,
Vikings and the famous Christopher Columbus. The
trick is that we only know Christopher Columbus
.
1430 AD

Narrator Man kind has discovered a lot, as the
time passes by, men has reallised that the world
is bigger then they thought so, and its shape is
round.
15
We are going to see the animation of 3
different ships approaching to America in
different times. Each ship approaches with its
own music. The point is that, Turks and Vikings
will turn back after they discovered this land,
and will not be really interested about it.
there is surely fiction
1430 AD

Narrator In late 900s, far earlier then
Europeans, Vikings discovered America. In 1120
AD, a Turkish ship lost her way, and landed on
America. However, they were not interested and
turned back soon after. In 1492, Christopher
Columbus discovered the America, though he was
believing that this was India.
16
After the discovery of America, we are back in
the world map, and the time starts to
fast-forward again. It slows down about 1800s,
where the first steps of Communication Technology
has taken. Our starting point is the telegraph
lines. Which will enable information exchange.
Narrator Finally, we came to the era where
everything is much more faster and easier. The
world starts to get connected ! In 1800s, first
telegraph line is establish, allowing people to
transfer information on digital form, much more
faster then walking all the way...
17
These telegraph lines (and also other
communication lines like telephone, data ,
internet etc.. ) increases at a tremendous
speeds, connecting everywhere in the world,
allowing inventions to travel everywhere.
Narrator Mankind loved this new technology
which enables information exchange
instantenously. The number of lines increased
tremendously, connecting everywhere in the world.
18
The symbols of newly inventions will first
appear at one location, then with the help of
communication lines, it will be transferred to
the whole world. These lines will be passages,
and as the time passes by, there will be
tremendous amount of discovery symbols on the
map, letting us to pass to the next scene.
Narrator This is the achievement we were
waiting now. Now, the amount of knowladge and the
quality of education increases faster then ever
before because every new achievement is
distributed to the world. So, one wont be
discovering over and over again, instead
improving what has been found before.
19
From this point on, there will be no narration.
This scene is based on transitions. We first see
a scientist finding something new in the test
tube, then the camera zooms to the tube, and when
the angle changes, we see that a professor is
holding the same test tube in the class. Showing
it to the students. Then the camera focuses on a
student, and with a transition, we see that the
student is making more research about the test
tube. Like this, there will be several examples
of how achievements are now distributed all over
the world very rapidly.
20
There will be a black screen, about 5 seconds,
in which after 2 seconds we will start to hear
sound of water falling down We do not know where
this sound comes from.
Background We hear water falling down starting
after 2 seconds of black screen.
21
After the black screen, user starts to see a
blurry, wet computer monitor. It is clear that
something has been searched recently. But there
is something different. There is water on the
screen and the keyboard.
Background We still hear sound of the water
falling down.
22
This scene is the one of the most important
scene. The user realizes that this is a room, and
the surroundings of the computer are all wet,
including the floor. The audience wonders where
this water comes from.
Background While we still hear the sound of
water falling down, after waiting about 4 secs,
we hear the sound of a door opening.
23
This is the scene where we understand why there
is water on the computer. Because the guy finds
an idea in the bath, runs to the computer,
shouting out Eureka, searches the idea that he
has recently come up with, but then finds out
that someone has already discovered it, becomes
sad, gets back to the bath. Probably he did this
many times before, this is why everywhere is wet.
Background After the door sound, we hear a man
running and shouting Eureka ! Eureka , Then
after he searhes the computer, he makes unhappy
sounds and turns back to bath.
24
This is the last scene of the movie. It ends with
a quotation.
To repeat what others have said, requires
education to challenge it, requires brains.
Marry Pettibone Poole
Background We still hear water falling down and
somebody is taking bath.
