    Man in 100 years..

    I was just watching TV and that movie the Assassination of Jessie James was on. I'd seen the movie before but the date he died got me thinking. He was killed in 1882 that was only 90 years before I was born and it was such a diffrent time then.

    When he was alive the cross country trains was a rather new thing. The major form of transportation was still the horse an buggy. So now it's been 126 years since he was killed. In that amount of time the automobile was invented, man harnessed the atom, we left this planet and landed on the moon. Technology has boomed which has changed the lives of almost everyone on this planet.

    For thousands of years man worked with basic hand tools and in roughly 100 years we have advanced faster than we advanced in the previous 1000 combined. You think we can continue to do so, or will we eventually get stuck at some point and not be able to keep advancing at such a rapid pace?
    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                  Na Religion really has no bearing on it other than it's a reason to wage wars. You might have to say many of our achievements have come because of wars. So while war can be bad it's also the biggest factor in our advancements.

                  It seems the biggest changes that have affected man in the last 100 years has been transportation and communication. If you assume that will continue to drive change you would have to assume that we will most likely have to move out to other planets.

                  They say techonlgy wise we could have humans on Mars in less than 20 years living there permanently in 50. To live on Mars we would first have to expand to the moon or to larger space stations, so is space our future and other planets in 100 or less?

                                      Steam Trains helped develop the west, that dont mean we have to keep using them. Religion separates people

                                      Before Religion there were mythology and tales.
                                      Before that there were dinosaurs and Baddog

                                      Each have their own time. Its time to step away from religion and fix our problem instead of claiming its Gods Will.

                                      I would rather do like George Carling, pray to the sun. Atleast that can fake god can give me sustainable energy. Other religions only want my money and time

                                          Man will always find a reason to fight among themselves. If not religion it will be race.. if not race it will be their country or group.. greed... power... natural resources.. ect..ect... Religion is nothing more than a reason that has the ability to reach mass amounts of people. Any of the others I mentioned could be used to drive people to war just the same with out Religion.

                                          The change from steam to fossil fuel came because it worked better. However for us to keep up the advancement on say transportation we have to move away from fossil fuels much the same as we moved away from steam.

                                          So it seems renewable energy will be the next advancement that pushes us forward for say the next 100 years in regards to transportation. That or beam me up Scotty transporters..

                                                          Man wants to fight, sure he will. But how we handle that behavior is what separates us from the animals.

                                                          Remove religion, and there will be no religious wars and separations.
                                                          Remove the need for fosil fuel, and there will be no more wars for oil

                                                          If power is free, you can grow food and build houses at almost no cost any where in the world. If everyone can get a place to live, food on the table, a dirt cheap electric car. What else is there to fight about?

                                                          And we need to stop trying to find a cure for every health issue. For Homo sapiens to evolve, we need to weak do die - sad but true.

                                                              The next few years should be interesting.

                                                              Future technologies will focus on clean power generation. Our planet will not be able to sustain much more harm.

                                                              I don't believe there's much time left for humanity. With weapon technology it just takes one nutcase to whipe us all out.

                                                              I'd be surprised if we make it past 2012.

You think we can continue to do so, or will we eventually get stuck at some point and not be able to keep advancing at such a rapid pace?
                                                                  I think we are already at that point. That's not to say we still won't advance just not at the same pace. Take something like planes. From 1903-1953 we went from the Wright brothers wooden crappy plane that could barely get 5 feet off the ground and go 500 feet to jet engines. Have planes adavanced that much since 1953? No. Would the learning curve of someone flying a jet fighter in 1953 to trying to learn to fly a moden jet fighter be as hard as taking a pilot form WWI in 1918 and teaching him to fly a 1950's jet? No. We sent men to the moon 39 years ago. We still don't have the technology to make manned spacecraft go much faster than we did then.

It would be incapable of flight with out the computer systems that keep it stable. While basic flight hasn't changed much technology in military aircraft have advanced at a large pace, but mostly the added on weaponry and computer systems.

                                                                      The reason basic flight hasn't changed much is mainly due to the human body because we have reached the max G limit humans can handel. Yet if you look at the new gen fighters like the F22 it uses movable thrusters that allow it to be more maneuverable than the previous generation aircraft like a F16.

All of these inventions that made life better would mostly all be useless without electricty.

Just like you can help people that have been brainwashed to believe different Cults, you can make people realize that the religion they have been praising and advocating all their life, is only about money and buying forgiveness or a "ticket to a better place"

                                                                                              If everyone just used their fucking head and looked at FACTS and took responsibility for themselves and their community, the EARTH could be HEAVEN for everyone. But as always, people want to sit back and let someone else come and fix it for them. God dont fix shit - he only wants your money.

                                                                                              I dont need a 2000 year old story telling me I cant steal, rape or lie. Its Newton's Third Law about action and reaction; if you steal something from someone, it will happen to you as well.

                                                                                              When have religion ever fixed anything? missionaries have been running around since forever and told people that the God they used to believe in was fake, and the God the missionaries brought was the real deal? are ANY-- ANY of those countries infested with those religious snake oil salesman better of? have it fixed ANY of the countries problem? no - technology does. God dont build roads - people do. God dont cure Chickenpox - People do. Did God teach people to build roads, no - people did. By hard work and through failures, NOT by praying to a big invisible man in the sky.

All of these inventions that made life better would mostly all be useless without electricty.
                                                                                                  I believe the key is learning how to use electricity. Right now we use it for power only. Its so much more than that, since everything around is controlled by electricity and can therefor be controlled by it

                                                                                                  Its just a matter of time before we learn how to fully use it on a larger scale

                                                                                                                  It's not my fucking fault you call it "karma" because you dont understand whats going on.

                                                                                                                  Let me try and explain to you what social mechanism is in this case. It's same that happen when one person starts driving fast on the freeway. One guy might get away with it to begin with, but soon more and more will drive faster and faster if there isn't a mechanism to regulate it (Cops in most cases)

                                                                                                                  If its allowed to run rampant, it will lead to massive car accidents. It will proberly not involve the individual that started the trend, but he will be the one that introduced it in to a closed environment.


                                                                                                                  Its not God or Karma. Its simple logic's. For every action there is a reaction.

                                                                                                                          It's not my fucking fault you call it "karma" because you dont understand whats going on.

                                                                                                                          Let me try and explain to you what social mechanism is in this case. It's same that happen when one person starts driving fast on the freeway. One guy might get away with it to begin with, but soon more and more will drive faster and faster if there isn't a mechanism to regulate it (Cops in most cases)

                                                                                                                          If its allowed to run rampant, it will lead to massive car accidents. It will proberly not involve the individual that started the trend, but he will be the one that introduced it in to a closed environment.

                                                                                                                          i see what you are saying now, sorry . yes i do agree with that. but to bash religion is just going on what you say, for every action is a reaction .... the people who believe in religion may not like what you say and create a harsh reaction. the best way is just to be silent and let people forget on their own.

I'd seen the movie before but the date he died got me thinking. He was killed in 1882 that was only 90 years before I was born and it was such a diffrent time then.

                                                                                                                                      When he was alive the cross country trains was a rather new thing. The major form of transportation was still the horse an buggy. So now it's been 126 years since he was killed. In that amount of time the automobile was invented, man harnessed the atom, we left this planet and landed on the moon. Technology has boomed which has changed the lives of almost everyone on this planet.

                                                                                                                                      For thousands of years man worked with basic hand tools and in roughly 100 years we have advanced faster than we advanced in the previous 1000 combined. You think we can continue to do so, or will we eventually get stuck at some point and not be able to keep advancing at such a rapid pace?

You might have to say many of our achievements have come because of wars. So while war can be bad it's also the biggest factor in our advancements.

                                                                                                                                          It seems the biggest changes that have affected man in the last 100 years has been transportation and communication. If you assume that will continue to drive change you would have to assume that we will most likely have to move out to other planets.

                                                                                                                                          They say techonlgy wise we could have humans on Mars in less than 20 years living there permanently in 50. To live on Mars we would first have to expand to the moon or to larger space stations, so is space our future and other planets in 100 or less?

Going to other planets I think will be done but not until past that 100 year mark and after we set up bases on the moon and on Mars.

Man has been fighting for more power and wealth or resources since well before we climbed down out of the trees.

                                                                                                                                                                      What makes you think that is what is needed to advance? One might say man has been preprogramed for it because it's a basic need for survival.

With weapon technology it just takes one nutcase to whipe us all out.

I'd seen the movie before but the date he died got me thinking. He was killed in 1882 that was only 90 years before I was born and it was such a diffrent time then.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  When he was alive the cross country trains was a rather new thing. The major form of transportation was still the horse an buggy. So now it's been 126 years since he was killed. In that amount of time the automobile was invented, man harnessed the atom, we left this planet and landed on the moon. Technology has boomed which has changed the lives of almost everyone on this planet.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  For thousands of years man worked with basic hand tools and in roughly 100 years we have advanced faster than we advanced in the previous 1000 combined. You think we can continue to do so, or will we eventually get stuck at some point and not be able to keep advancing at such a rapid pace?

                                                                                                                                                                                                  True,

                                                                                                                                                                                                  They produced many inventions that led to us being able to build on top of them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  There were less people and therefore less people to invent in those days.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  They invented ways to make our life easier so that we have way more free time to invent.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  If we added up all the inventions over time; those who came before us had

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Some of our new inventions are old inventions that now make a lot more sense
