man evolving??

okay, you knowhow some people say man has stopped evolving due to no major changes in its environment? i kinda agree to that but look were constanly thinking up new technologies and look how new records keep getting broken and then rebroken many many times. im not too clever on the subject so if anyone knows plz say

 

Records? As in sports records? You can pretty much say better training better equipment.

New tech is only because it builds on each other. BTW, evolution is not true.

 

I think we're still evolving, but at a very slow, unnoticeable rate because that's how things are. We've gotten taller on average over the past few hundred years. That's evolution. And as man evolves, technology does too.

 

how do you mean? animals had to adapt to theire environments for thousands of years to survive, they got fur/ teeth dependant on theyre diet etc

 

Evolution goes far beyond the human body and mind

 

^^It really does. I've found that if you look close enough at any organism, living or not, you find that it evolves, which is why I think it's ridiculous when people say it's not true.

 

America has gotten slightly shorter over recent years

but yes, I do believe that is all part of evolution

 

Watch, in under 20 years microchips and bits of silicon will evolve on their own, learning and adapting

i remeber i read a Time magazine article a year ago at a buddies cabin that had a future timeline, it predicted that before 2100, more then 1 serious pandemic will have been caused by a Virus which jumped from computer to man, and during that time, computers will have disproven the basis of religions

 

how can a virus from a computer be contracted by a human?

 

cause they are predicting by 2100 we will have computer installed in us and shit

 

ohhhhh! ok i missed that part

 

Will cars fly too? People are always making these predictions of the future and a lot of them end up being incorrect (a lot of them are in sci-fi movies/books though so there is something to be said about that). And from what I have seen with modern man is we are evolving socially and technologically but I am not sure that modern man (homo sapiens sapiens) will survive much longer (we wont reach the time when people are living on other planets and robots are our servants). Our wealth of technology will be our downfall in much the same way the lack of technology was the Neanderthal's downfall.

 

cars can fly already
we just haven't figured a system for traffic control

 

Right now, we do not have "new" technology, we are simply making what we already invented 100 years ago, smaller and more efficent.
The next step is nanotechnology, believe me.
We will be fixing damaged organs and skin with millions of little nano bots that replicate the funtion of the body parts.
Curing diseases, while other diseases become worse.
Like AID's for example, if AID's evolves one more step to the point where the virus develops its own protective shell, it will be able to survive outside of the host and become airborne, like the common cold. And in reality, it is very closely related to the common cold in structure, but it lacks the means to survive in the open atmosphere.

 

The cars that can fly already are more like mini airplanes than the flying cars most people think of (hovercars like in back to the future and the jetsons).

 

Then AIDs really would be everyone's disease.

 

umm.. no, not always

they have this and other things like it

they showed us this other one in a presentation at school for whatever reason
but I cna't seem to find it online

 

To be honest with you I feel like the human race is going to die out if we start to use genetic engineering and continue in the path we are going

 

I feel that if we were to sit down, and really map out the repetitive history of mankind, then we could make a proper conciouss assumption towards the destined future that we are rolling forward into. I've entertained the idea, but never actually got down into it.
im sure its a very simple and logical path that would seem profoundly simple once we figure it out, but I think its better safe than sorry and to understand the actual root of the human problem before we go making assumption

 

I think that's our problem we always fail to see the obvious, once we do... I think things might work the way they should.
