On a Deserted Island


On a deserted island, you say?

This is an easy one I think

Human beings are out of the question.

Because I can't choose just one.

How about pets? 

They can't communicate in a way that's immediately meaningful. 

So they're off the list too.

 

With these first choices eliminated, what else is there?

 

I think a solar powered computer will suffice.

And a machine that produces endless ethernet 

Then I could talk to any person or pet that I wanted.

No wireless please!

because wi-fi can be finicky at times.

But then again, so can I.
