the next sad step in human de evolution…

Mat, could you explain your comment a little more.  i don’t get it.

I really don’t think mat has to explain anything. He is a great guy.

that is a fantastic point

Exactly how is this the “next sad step in human de evolution”?  I too, am confused about this statement. Like most of mat’s comments on here, they are pointless, and have no basis on anything. Mabey mat should listen to his parents and go to school!

It shows that technology has allowed us to be a more mobile society.  If anything, it allows for more individualism and greater choice, and not be tied down to a place or have to go to a specific point just to communicate.  Does anyone even use payphones any more?

what i meant was the whole convenience thing…everytime theres a breakthrough that makes our lives easier, it also makes us more lazy, which makes us even more dependant on things we dont really have control over.  Mostly i was just talking trash though, its kind of what i do.

Yes, I agree with your last statement mat. JB also makes a good point that technology allows us more freedom, individualism, personal liberties etc. I think part of the problem is that society in general, relies too much on technology, and stop doing what humans have done the last several thousand years. Things like socializing, exercise, etc.. T.V., computers, cars, cell phones have made many of the things we did for survival unnecessary in today’s world. It is sad that unless the government makes up some sort of food pyramid, or exercise guidelines for children, people won’t eat healthy or exercise on their own. We also rely way too much on the government telling us how to live our lives.
