HF 835 - Test of Time
Trådtittelen er hentet fra introduksjonen til det klassiske dataspillet Civilization (1991),designet av Sid Meier og Bruce Shelley:
"In the beginning the Earth
was without form and void.
But the sun shone upon the sleeping Earth
and deep inside the brittle crust
massive forces waited to be unleashed.
The seas parted and great continents were formed.
The continents shifted, mountains arose.
Eartquakes spawned massive tidal waves.
Volcanoes erupted and spewed forth fiery lava
and charged the atmosphere with strange gases.
Into this swirling maelstrom
of Fire and Air and Water
the first stirrings of Life appeared:
tiny organisms, cells, and amoeba,
clinging to tiny sheltered habitats.
But the seeds of Life grew, and strengthened,
and spread, and diversified, and prospered,
and soon every continent and climate teemed with Life.
And with Life came instinct, and specialization,
natural selection, Reptiles, Dinosaurs, and Mammals
and finally there evolved a species known as Man
and there appeared the first faint glimmers of Intelligence.
The fruits of intelligence were many:
fire, tools, and weapons,
the hunt, farming, and the sharing of food,
the family, the village, and the tribe.
Now it required but one more ingredient:
a great Leader to unite the quarreling tribes
to harness the power of the land
to build a legacy that would stand the test of time:
a Civilization!"
