There isn't a lot of evidence to prove what the first Thanksgiving was like, but we think it's safe to assume it was cold, confusing, and full of tepid conversation between sickly pilgrims and weirded out Native Americans.
Because technology only makes things better (at least, that's what we tell ourselves as we spend countless wasted hours on Facebook), here are a few of the ways the first Thanksgiving could have benefited from a little 21st-century technology.

Translation... Google translate or the like would have been extremely useful so that the conversation could flow more easily. Also, hand sanitizer for those nasty foreign germs.
