Hello everyone,

Wow what interesting choices, I decided to copy the first choice of the 3 things you each picked and this is what we have:

Most people that responded seem to be scared of being displaced hence they think of mobile phone first before anything. I m also impressed by the farmers we have here, we can notice them by their choice of seeds they are choosing to take first.
