1. **The Rosetta Stone**
- Ever since the humans were scratching symbols into the rocks, we have been using written words and symbols to communicate important ideas and information. We may never know when humans first started to use words and symbols to communicate information and record history, but evidence has been found thousands of years ago from the Egyptians, and we may eventually find even older examples of the written word.

- Computers have allowed us to communicate and transfer information almost instantly, but they have also allowed us to share our imaginations in ways not possible by other methods. The programs inside the computer range from simple to complicated and we can create anything from a simple picture in paint, to a detailed and moving three dimensional figure in more advanced programs. What's more, there are many websites which allow us to share our ideas with each other at the click of a mouse button.===== //The internet is a powerful tool that connects us.//

3. **A Model T**
- Cars have largely replaced the need for horses and other ways of traveling, and have become a common sight in developed countries. The idea of using one force to move another is not a new one, as Horses and other animals have probably been used before history was being recorded. It can be said that we as humans try to model cars and other machines after ourselves, and from the basic parts our early machines are made of, we will continue to see new machines which help us in our daily lives. //Model T with Henry Ford//.

4**. The Statue of David**
- Creating our own image in different forms of Art is likely something we have been doing for a long time. The Statue of David may not have been the greatest example of imagination when you think of it as just a copy of a human chiseled from rock, but the detail and emotion of it raise a lot of questions to someone who looks upon it with an open mind? What has caused the concern that is on David's face? //The statue of David, with a powerful gaze.//

5. **Penrose Staircase**
- Something such as the Penrose Staircase shows us well that the human imagination does not need to be limited by reality, and it doesn't even need to make sense. What would make a truly amazing Library of imagination would be one that has a functional set of the stairs. Perhaps that kind of Library could only exist in the Imagination. //It would be difficult to show someone an example without a good ability to draw, and a lot of imagination.//

6. **The First Picture**
- The first Photograph was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, an inventor from France. The photograph is a wonderful invention itself, but it is also another way that we can express our imagination and create art.They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but usually they do not require very much explanation. //One of the earliest pictures still surviving.//

7. **Food**
- Once again, we may never know when food was used for more than just something to eat, but an entire industry has been created by talking food beyond it's simple forms and creating unique flavours and even designs out of things we will simply stuff down our throats. Unfortunately food does not always taste as good as it looks, and it also doesn't always look as good as it tastes. //A sculpture created from sugar.//

8. **The Light-bulb**
- What better item to have in a Library of Imagination than is often used to represent someone using their imagination to solve a problem. The Light-bulb is a very important invention for humanity, and if you were to look at the most important inventions of the human mind in history, I'm sure that the light bulb would be quite high on the list. There examples of primitive Light-bulbs nearly one hundred years before Thomas Edison was credited with creating them, but in the case we need to focus on the invention instead of the inventor. //Who knows who first thought of this idea?//

9. **An Apple**
- As the story goes, Sir Isaac Newton began to think about the concept of gravity after an apple landed on his head. While this story may not be true, an apple is a good representation of our knowledge of the world. It would not be a good Library of Imagination if every item in it was to be taken literally, and different people from different times have come to imagine an Apple as a representation of many different things. //It was all for the best.//

10. **A Radio**
- A great example of how humans have become masters of using radio waves to transfer information and communicate without the use of wires, and invisible to our sight as well. When we think of entertainment in our time, we probably think of Television or the internet, but for many years a simple Radio was what people crowded around to here about anything from sports to important news. //What are you listening to?//

The best style for the building would be a museum. It would have a lot of different exhibits categorized by their type. The style I can think of is the National Museum of Korea: media type="youtube" key="mLjL_gXjgl0" height="315" width="560" The building uses a lot of glass and concrete in a modern design. What is most important is the things inside of the building. The first floor should contain historical type things, and the next floor up will contain Artistic materials. It is important to display how our imagination has expanded as we have changed throughout history. A good way to organize the exhibits would be by their relative age to show this change.
