The Gods Must Be Crazy
We all know of the great impact that aviation has had on humanity. It has broken down so many natural borders and opened even the most secluded parts of the world. This was the inspiration for the South African comedy The Gods Must Be Crazy. What begins with a careless pilot throwing his empty coke bottle out his plane while flying over Botswana leads to a world changing discovery by a local bushman. The local tribe, being completely cut-off from the modern world knew nothing of airplanes or glass bottles. So the natural assumption when something fell from the sky; it was a gift from the gods. This gift, however, proved only to evoke envy among the tribe. The leader decided this bottle must be evil and journeyed to the end of the world to dispose of it. Along the way the unassuming bushman encounters the modern world for the first time and hilarity ensues.While this is nothing more than a story, it demonstrates just how aviation can open the world, even if it is not always for the better.
