A few points to make, after talking with some friends! Basically around the facts of humans havent evolved in the past 2500 years or so, and this planet is dying. Lets start with the latter point first.
Our forefathers runied this planet, starting with the industrial age, and the ongoing consumption of this planets natural resources like oil etc. Ok, I understand back in the industrial ages they didnt understand the total destruction and harm they were causing the planet, but these days? Everyone knows how much damage we are doing, so why continue doing it? especially when there are economical ways to prevent any more harm from happening. Solar panels, wind turbines, water turbines, geothermal... the list goes on, but you get my point. What im trying to say is this. People just dont care and are too lazy to do anything. When they first found out about the harm it was all causing the general view of it was, we are going to die before anything needs to be done, so let our children, or our children's children deal with it. The problem is, that time has come, and people still think like that. Ok, so the government is trying to do stuff like recycling etc, yet they all still drive around in their big gas guzzling land rovers and bentleys etc. I dont see anyone putting wind turbines up, or solar farms in the desert. Theres no one out there using oil substitutes, or cutting down on the packaging etc. anyway... i think its time the government pulled out some funds, all took a big pay cut and sorted it out!
Now for the more interesting subject of the human evolution. Humans havent evolved much over the last 3500 years, and its about time we started to if we are going to outlive the problems being thrown at us by this planet and mankinds inability to help our only planet. OK, so i know we aren't going to grow an extra limb or anything as drastic as that, but who's to say we can't evolve into something by our own means instead of through genetics. What im talking about is cybernetics. Its one of my favourite subjects. People already supliment missing limbs with prosthetic limbs so why isnt technology being involved? The technology is already out there, and with some careful research, I dont see why someone who's lost an eye should stay like that. Again its down to money and the willingness to try it, but why cant a cyber optic device, made to look like an eye, be implimented and hard wired into the brain, to not only give a person their sight back, but to also drastically improve it. A scientist at Reading university replaed a lost hand with a totally cybernetic hand, and it works so why isnt it being implimented in other places? Yes alot of trials need to be done, but i can picture us in the next 20 years or so with hard drives in our brain, bringing the gift of total recall of any image or memory we like, and then, this brings in on the fly internet access, with it being shown as a heads up display through our cybernet eye implants, and mobiles built in, with vocal pick ups on our throats and being able to store txt's and phone numbers on the hard drives in our head. Of course, this is mostly hyperthetical, and it all imposes a risk, once implemented of human hacking, and a whole new version of crime. Could I hack into your e-brain and download that video of you having sex with the neighbour while your wife is at work?
Anyway... thats enough of me today! Think about it!
Peace x

Well I drive a gas guzzler, but due to the way it was made, it will run on pretty much whatever you put in it! Plus, its 32 years old, covered 174,000 miles and has been in the MOD, AND! was painted with tiger stripes when it did maintenance work at a safari park between 1985 and 1994! am I excused?
