1. Technology
A- Makes our life easier : for thousands of years people traveled on horses and ships. I am amazed at the MTA in New York and how easily I can travel from qns to Manhattan. Under water! for $2.50. without getting wet.
B- Increases knowledge: Galileo was one of the first to effectively use the telescope to observe the universe, technology has played a key role in our “standing on the shoulders of giants” as Hawking put it in his book on Galileo. Later the power of computers and then super computers were used , creating a telescoping of knowledge. The Apple Iphone is more powerful then the rocket that took the first men to the moon Galileo observed. The speed of information has grown faster in the past 200 years then in the last 2,000. I am amazed by the fax machine, people travelled for months and years to deliver a message across contents , now all I have to do is press a bunch of buttons.

2. A Longer life span - for most of human history the average life span has been no greater then 35 to 40 years, by the end of this century the average life expectancy should be double that.
This is amazing! we can combine this with the speed of information and we have the chance to learn more about the universe, ourselves and each other then any other generation. This is what I think awesome is .

I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to write an actual letter to me and send through that big metal blue box thing.

ReplyDeleteI would like to know why did you take the red top off the regular coke and put the green cap on all the coke products . When I get a coke and think that I have the coke with lime get home and have to go back to the store because it is the regular coke with out the lime because all I am looking at is the green cap.
I think that you should put the RED CAPS ON THE REGULAR COKE AND LET THE GREEN CAPS STAY ON THE COKE WITH LIME. THIS WAY PEOPLE WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE WHEN GETTING A COKE WITH/WITHOUT LIME.
