Entry #4. The World as We Know It, and it Will Never be Again....... Thank Goodness!

I was going to title this "The World as I Knew It, and it Will Never be Again." Problem is, if you've read any of my entries, I'm sure you've come to realize that I'm not exactly a kid. I'm equally as sure, that if I had used my original title, you would not have been looking forward to reading over and over and over again, "I remember when......." If I did that, I'm pretty sure you MIGHT read two or three of the, "I remember whens........", before you would put on your old people eye goggles, ear muffs, and do something way more interesting. I know I would, and I'm (kind of) old! The reason I chose to change the tittle is because of how I feel about progress in general. Through creativity,ingenuity and improved education, our world as we know it, is far superior to the "Good ole days." In this day and age, we literally have the world at our fingertips. We can do almost any thing we want to do, just by touching a few buttons on our latest,greatest hi-tech widjit 4.0. Yes, it's a wonderfull life. Question is; do you honestly believe that we are the first generation that thought we were the "Shit" because we had the newest gadget that made our lives easier and therefore better? Do you think that we will be the last?  Of course not. If we look back even a decade ago, we often laugh at how something that seemed so cool back then, seems almost silly now. Our technology is no longer increasing at a linear pace. Technological advancements are now coming at us at almost an exponential pace. I'm sure a decade from now. we"ll be looking back at today with at least a smile on our face. So enjoy the wonders of today, but get too attached because the world we know today will not be hear forever........Thank Goodness!
