7. If you could introduce one new idea or material thing to a primitive culture, what would it be?

 Primitive cultures sometimes have little or no access to warm blankets due to their low income level. They tend to have to endure harsh, cold weather and are consequently exposed to having hypothermia. Therefore, if I had the ability to introduce a material thing to a primitive culture, I would choose to introduce the snuggie. A snuggie is a sleeved blanket that allows one to move around easily while still having the warmth of a blanket embracing you.  With the help of the snuggie, all who are part of the primitive culture would still be able to work or play in the cold weather while being enveloped by the warmth of a snuggie. In addition, people in primitive cultures tend to have no access to antibiotics which adds to the risk of possibly dying of illnesses. With a snuggie in their possession, they would no longer be in danger of having hypothermia or any other illness such as the flu for they will be sheltered from the cold. As simple as the concept may be, the distribution of a snuggie will lay a great impact on a primitive culture who many times suffers through cold weather and illnesses caused by it.
