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.
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!
