      I’d have to learn a lot about electrical engineering first! I would probably try to build en electronic nose. It’s pretty weird that we can have machines that can replicate the senses of seeing (cameras), hearing (microphones), touching (some microscopes can recreate the feeling) but smell and taste are still not achievable. There are some devices but they are not very good yet. It would be cool to have an electronic nose because the next step is begin able to transmit smells across long distances like we do with images via tv. Maybe smell-o-vision will be mu contribution to the world!

      Hi Dan

      That’s a tough one, I’m more for tinkering with electronics than making big scale things!
      I think I’d probably have a go at making a house all electronic controlled – lights, curtains etc. I know it can be done – so it’d be a good project to try with these unlimited resources!

      thanks for the question!
      Cathy

      I’d make myself a transformer! And a seat for me at the top to control it from. Yay!

      I’d probably hide away from them all! I’m not the biggest fan of electronics to be honest…send me back to the Victorian era where steam power was king.
