The last 100 years or so.
I have finally come up with something I'd like to get your opinion and thoughts on.
It's known our race has been around for more than 2000 years and as a people we've gone through alot. What really gets me thinking some times is how "fast" we've made technological advances such as nuclear power, a-bombs, cars and bread machines. I mean, were we lazy in the begining or what? Why or how have we progressed so much in a relativley short period of time? Perhaps it was one important discovery that snowballed and broke the proverbial ice to get us going.
Let me spin it around for a second now. Perhaps we are going not actually progressing at all...think about how we are simply destroying our planet with pollution and non-recyclable compact discs all the time. Are we doing this in the hope that one day we'll figure out how to fix everything we've buggered up? When we didn't have cars, yahts, or airplanes the world didn't really get affected much - all the crap we've pulled in that last century has probably scarred earth for the remainder of it's life.
My question is do you think we as a people are on the right track or are we just setting ourselves up for self-destruction?
