Re: When the revolution comes... [Re: AngryPhil]

Flat screens, self-driven vehicles, video games, and hospitals already exist.


Well if that's what you were referring to then I was thinking far out ahead (something else, nevermind), except for the self-driven vehicles. I'm aware they are around but they've yet to be commercially realistic, the computer interface behind them simply isn't advanced enough to compensate for most complex human driving behaviors, especially those that resonate with danger. And even with the most advanced systems today, then you have the issue of passing on the cost to the consumer and again that's just not realistic for the masses.

Anyways, if humanity can't get beyond (in a realistic and "commercially viable" manner) the limits of silicon based technology then it's hard for one to see a repeat of the rapid technological progress that we've seen in the past 100 years (compared to other era's of humanity, at least what recorded history designates and what seems realistic for the most part) anytime soon.

Nothing is genuinely certain in life and just because we've seen a pattern in technological progression doesn't mean it will continue.

By the way I was just fooling around with you when I replied to you earlier :smile:

This is due to economic reasons, not due to science's inability to create them--car companies make/save more money by gradually increasing the technology of their models.

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

The idea of heat death stems from the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy tends to increase in an isolated system. If the universe lasts for a sufficient time, it will asymptotically approach a state where all energy is evenly distributed. In other words, in nature there is a tendency to the dissipation (energy loss) of mechanical energy (motion); hence, by extrapolation, there exists the view that the mechanical movement of the universe will run down in time due to the second law.

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

You do realize this is a debate-oriented forum, I hope.  Youtube links do not count as good debate, only as propaganda.
