Mankind was genetically engineered to survive in a hostile environment, evolving strategies and physical attributes that allowed our forebears to gather nourishment, seek protection from the elements, and hopefully escape being eaten by other animals. One has to wonder if maybe we've hit an evolutionary dead end. Survival is being taken care of for us. Our food comes preprepared and prepackaged (and in some cases, predigested), our clothes come off a rack, and our shelters await the turn of the key. We no longer even have to pay attention, that ability to detect imminent danger. The irony is that all the means for survival provided us by technology are doing nothing but erode the innate tools we once used to survive. One can only wonder where the human being is heading genetically. What will we look like in fifty million years? Will we and our pets be born with little earphones already attached?

Many of us are spoiled. I try to live a simple life, paint and work in my yard. But don't forget the unemployed! Unfortunately, they expect the government to supply them with all of the new toys too. So someone has to work to pay for it...... maybe the Mexicanos......LOL
I wonder how they would all survive thru a depression like in the 30's.

Finally, I got through to the page. My internet is not behaving itself very well. Gotten tempermental over the holidays, I guess. I have been sitting here wondering what little built-in device would evolve on a cat. Love this cartoon. I know a married couple who use their individual computers to communicate even when they are in the same room together, says me, laughing. They are in their 30's. Makes one wonder how they are going to evolve. Not sure how they converse with their child. Have wondered how they created the child. Software program, perhaps?
