However, the human thinking didn´t change so much. Of course back then people couldn´t even read, and today we have cheap books and Wikipedia. However, most people don´t care about this. Everyone has access to information today, but most people still prefer to remain ignorant.<BR/><BR/>In a nutshell: technology always advances, but everytime a human being is born, he has to learn everything from scratch.<BR/><BR/>A final quote from Albert Einstein: "I don´t know what weapons people will use on World War III, but in World War IV it will probably be sticks and stones".Locadora do Werneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185765892519877827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-58186072139950637102007-03-31T14:17:00.000-04:002007-03-31T14:17:00.000-04:00it is a hyperbole no doubt, but not exactly far of...it is a hyperbole no doubt, but not exactly far off if certain events prove to be irreversible, aka return to another ice age....Nick Teeplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307474147020316238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-85145384807406178282007-03-30T08:19:00.000-04:002007-03-30T08:19:00.000-04:00People were happier a hundred years ago than today...People were happier a hundred years ago than today so life back then was better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-31436074380754110702007-03-27T18:40:00.000-04:002007-03-27T18:40:00.000-04:00These comments remind me of a Roger Waters song......These comments remind me of a Roger Waters song... the line goes, "who needs information, when your living underground?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-78690024779853535972007-03-27T13:54:00.000-04:002007-03-27T13:54:00.000-04:00Clever how they reversed the order - modern, then ...Clever how they reversed the order - modern, then primitive. While we certainly haven't returned to the Dark Ages (though some might beg to differ when considering US foreign policy - and those video effects!), it illustrates the primary failure of futurism: The assumption that the nature of humanity (greed, violence, envy, selfishness) would somehow peel away to reveal a kinder & gentler humanity.

As pessimistic as you want to be, anyone with a firm grounding in reality has to at least admit that life is better now than it was a hundred years ago- let alone a _thousand_ (the heart of the Middle Ages).<BR/><BR/>We haven't lived up to the dreams of the optimists, and we probably never will. There's political strife with factions that would happily turn back the clock to the Middle Ages if they could- but these are not the new Dark Ages. <BR/><BR/>And may we never let ourselves slip back into barbarism.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228643077621359286noreply@blogger.com
