Question: Do you believe the world will eventually be eviscerated by technology!?
This is the route that I think the world is headed in myself!.!.!.!.with the pace that we are trying to automate, computerize, and simplify things!.!.!.it's only a matter of time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think you could be right!. We run the risk of technology outpacing morality and wisdom!. If that happens we will be enslaved by technology, rather than being its master (if we manage to escape mass destruction at the hands of power hungry, unscrupulous war makers)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, we're no way important or skilled enough to rip the guts out of this world!. The worst we can do is make it unihabitable for ourselves and most of the species we share it with!. But with patience, the world would recover, with homo sapiens sapiens as nothing but a vague memory (if the planet has a collective consciousness)!.

The most beautiful world in the world by Harry Nilsson

You come to the end
And the light there is dimmer
And chances are slimmer
Of findin' your way
You find that you stay out
Of trouble and danger
'Cause everything's stranger
Than it used to be
You're a scary old place out there world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Well the light can be bright there
And everything's right there
The end of the night there might be a big band
Or a heavenly chior--Or it might be the fire
But no matter what happens
I bet it's OK
You're a scary old place out there world
But I couldn't be happy without you
And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The most beautiful world in the world

Your mountains when you're mad
Your rivers when your sad
And those deep blue seas
I love you for your snow
Your deserts down below
I love the way you wear your trees
The most beautiful world in the world
And though there are times when I doubt you
I just couldn't stay here without you

So when you get older
And over your shoulder
You look back to see if it's real
Tell her she's beautiful
Roll the world over
And give her a kiss and a feelWww@QuestionHome@Com
