Monologue Mania Day #489 by Janet S. Tiger June 16, 2015
(The box is almost bigger than the older man carrying it, as he is not too large, but he struggles and successfully places the box on a table, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.)
Whew! A few years ago, I could have lifted this with one hand......but it's okay....this was worth it. I wanted to show everyone what modern technology is going to do for me.....and maybe for all of you, too!
(He opens the box and stares in with joy)
It's beautiful! And I have been dreaming about this for a long time! You see....it's a ....
(He pulls out a paper and waves it)
....it's one of those newfangled inventions called a 3D Printer!
And these are the instructions!
(He pulls out a tiny packet)
It must be simple, only a small booklet!
(He opens the booklet and it unfolds all the way to the floor. He examines the writing)
Not to worry! Only one page is in English!
And right here, on the Senior Channel, I am going to set this up and do what I have been looking forward to doing for an age!
I watch these shows on PBS all the time, and they had a great one about 3D printers that are printing out hands for children, and legs for soldiers......so I figured, if they could do that.....
I'm gonna print me out....a new head!
And it's going to have all the features I want - the ability to understand modern technology! The capability to set up every new television and cable box!My new and improved head will lead me to understand everything that is mystifying me about the 21st Century!
(He hears something, nods)
Okay, maybe I can't do all this today, but....I'll be back!
(He reaches into the box and removes a couple of items, holds them up to the audience, turns to leave, stops, looks back)
And most of all - I'll get to learn how to open a can!
(He laughs as he exits. The beginning of a new age....head)
