I grew up watching the old school Sci-Fi movies like “Logan’s
Run” and “The Time Machine” even “Mad Max” & “Blade Runner” are getting up
there in age now. What I remember
most about them is how they present an idea of our future being something we
rather not exit in. They almost
act as a warning to us living in the present to change our ways “or else” this
will happen. I often wonder if we
(as the human race) will go to far.
Will we try and reach the heavens or clone ourselves? I’m often not sure of the purpose of
such actions. I’m definitely someone
who loves to push the envelope and dream bigger and higher than I have before
but the question emerges “when will we have gone too far?” I’m not sure the answer is as easily
delineated as we would like to think.
I do know there will come a time where we will begin to push further than
the natural, which will make it “un-natural” I guess. Are you okay with living in a world that is un-natural? It’s a hard question for me because I
like some of the amazing technological advances we have witnessed, but some technology
has a strange and frankly perverted effect on the human beings. I was recently watching a TED talk that
spoke on “The Demise of Guys” were the presenter communicated that boys brains
are literally being reprogrammed (for the worse) by excessive internet
interaction. Something just doesn’t
seem right about that.
