So What Does This Mean???

Let's say the world is a plant. A plant eager to start his life. At this current time this small piece of greenery would be at that stage where things are starting to happen. Where the buds are preparing to bloom into dainty little white flowers and the roots are soaking up water like a sponge. With today's growing technology the world is drinking it up faster than ever before because the more we ingeniously invent the more we end up figuring out. Which, of course leads to many more inventions and much more technology. And although this makes life a lot easier for us there may be another side to consider, the life the plant lives. There are many benefits to all this but also negatives which we also have to look at. Let's look at technology as fertilizer, too much can be disastrous. Although we want nice size able flowers we do not want our flowers to be be too overloaded and to flop down because of the weight. So therefore we must watch how much new technology and fertilizer we put into our plant's pot.

Scientists believe we will have a computer that is smarter than humankind by 2013. This will be shattering to all of what we have learned in the past. This just proves that we are in the future, NOW! Predictions just grow larger every year to what we believe can be accomplished with our ever growing sense and understanding of the world. The world is picking up the pace by starting to jerkily accelerate everything we are doing. Global warming temperatures are rising faster than ever, technology is becoming an even bigger part of our lives, and we are hardly doing anything to stop this. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, or a good thing but something is going to happen, except no one knows what. So we've got to get a grip on things and start proceeding with more caution. Things are changing in the world, almost so quickly, that hardly anyone notices.

So I take you back to the "plant" analogy. Our plant has been taken good care of in all of the millenniums it has survived. So now it's our turn to water the plant and care for it. We mustn't wreck it in only a few centuries. Humans have become so smart that we have been able to create things that are unimaginable and somewhat unbelievable. Technology that will change life as we know it. So what does this mean??? This means that our plant has just blossomed and that we must be very delicate with it, so that we do not disturb any of its small delicate petals.

  1. Emily I love your connection to the plant. I agree that it is our turn to care for the plant and water it. The world is in our hands now. I have the feeling it will be safe there!
