I liked your "essay" on nanotechnology. Until we as a civilization can properly utilize the technologies we develop (we have not thus far), we will certainly degrade our environment. How far and how quickly are variables in an unknown equation. When we remove our motivation for the acquisition of wealth and realize that there is more to existence than we currently understand. The technologies will be divisive factors in civilization.
Yes lets go back to the rock age, we don't need television nor cars nor lights nor Internet nor cell phones nor even medical and engineering advances nor all this evil scientists, lets ban science !! "sarcasm"
If nano materials comming are 100x stronger and 6x lighter than steel, how tall could a building be built?? We saw what steel did compared to brick...I postulate that a space ladder will be here before a space elevator...
Thanks for the comments. In addition to the Morph video, I was inspired by the book "Technopoly" by Neil Postman. It's an eye-opening read if you've not experienced it.
i thought there was something eery about watching the morph video. i think there is something haunting about looking forward, as honestly the world will only get worse.
if everyone has a remarkable standard of living and gadgets to do everything for them, who will run the factories, bother to learn how to understand the technology if a program does all the work etc...
when labour saving devices leave nothing but leisure I can't imagine it being satisfying. thankfully they tend to create labour.

it's not one song, it's a collection of sound clips I pieced together using Soundtrack.

(more 'late night rambling' than 'result of much thought'. in a nutshell i think the clip makes a reasonable point)
