Today,...I am still waiting for a Jetsons lifestyle. Today, there's no need for buttons on devices anymore, but man still need to drag himself around as much as he had to decades ago.<br /><br />In this new century, lifespan in the First World has gone on the decline. Bacterial resistance is catching up with antibiotics. Aids is back on the rise. As they say: what goes up, must come down.<br /><br />I concur wholly with this post. Mankind won't overcome the laws of nature. Although we took to the skies like birds, dove like sperm whales, spread over the globe like grass and domesticated antibodies, this was nothing but expanding on other domains within nature. We tossed objects into space and began thinking that this foreshadowed our escape from nature's boundaries. But it turns out mankind merely made the most wasteful effort a life form would ever attempt, in creating a lunar graveyard for tools. Progress has increasingly devolved into wasteful consumption. As education can only expand our intelligence to the limits of its natural potential, the product of our collective complexity is likewise limited. By decree of nature, our standstill is just as assured as our demise.Bazomporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526010950254255163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053773803998874663.post-27013567336499610882015-05-19T07:42:04.185-07:002015-05-19T07:42:04.185-07:00I am 55, and ever since late childhood I have read...I am 55, and ever since late childhood I have read of future utopias. Back in the day the future usually being the year 2000! I distinctly remember an illustration from the very late 1960s showing people travelling about in some kind of glass monorail. There was "hope through research" for nearly every disease. How come you can text, tweet, and twat all day but you still have to clean your clothing pretty much the way people did in the 50's? Your tire will still get a flat and your battery will still die. The lifespan of cars has not really increased, period. Eisenhower once predicted that nuclear power would make electricity "too cheap to meter". Hell, give me an invention that will clean my laundry as easily as microwaving a can of chili and I will give up my smartphone. Not that I have one! <br /><br />Comments welcomed from all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679323357178434306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053773803998874663.post-31095847155773184982015-05-19T03:44:08.088-07:002015-05-19T03:44:08.088-07:00Finally something from you that's heartwarming...Finally something from you that's heartwarming. =) Loved this!Notanamenoreply@blogger.com
