i suppose you're right if you base your opinions of what is advanced relative to things like star wars and star trek, but truth is often stranger then fiction...
this era is the human races time to decide if we are going to destroy ourselves with our technology, or if we're going to use it to advance to a higher level as a race and take out place amongst the stars. it's a very exciting time. what we do now is very important to many future generations i believe.

i would liked to have been born and raised into a much simpler, less urbanized time/lifestyle. but i can make it work in this day and age as well.
i would like to ask this:
do you not think, that if you had born 500 years ago, that you would also think Quote:
Every day I find myself quite convinced that I was born at just the right time, at a cusp, at one of the most interesting and important junctures in all of human history.
after all, every nanosecond (you get my point) is us being on the edge of life

To this day I feel miffed that I can't just levitate using my mind. I hate climbing stairs.

i know what you mean, and i know it sounds arrogant, but i truly believe this time period is different and actually is the cusp of something. i mainly think this because of the incredible rate that technology is advancing, the incredible rate of world-wide population growth, the threat of possible world changing pollution, and the fact that weapons exist on this earth that could wipe out the entire human race in a flash. things really are a bit different from 500 years ago imo. i think it's pretty easy to realize. eventually it's all going to come to a head and it's sink or swim time.

Oh, I definitely think that. In no way am I trying to say that now is better than any other time. I'm just trying to express my great enthusiasm and fascination with Now!

If human beings could levitate obesity would be much more widespread and as the skyline would be blocked by floating fatties we'd never see the sun again.
Unless of course levitating burned calories.

Well, I think you'd have to reach a point of physical/mental/spiritual union before you'd be able to levitate, which means you'd likely be pretty fit. Plus, who's to say we couldn't have sky-sports?

Growing up around seedy jazz joints in the 30s or 40s would be cool I like to think, but I really don't wish I was born in another time period.

A tricorder? You want a fancy pants scanner? The holodeck and teleporters are totally way more cool+useful.

My ideal time Asimov writes about in several of his novels. Not the Foundation series where the empire is dead, I want to live in the Golden Age. Nothing I want to do more than go into space, and specifically be able to go to different civilized planets. One day I hope to get rich enough to fly into space, even if I have to save up a million dollars, Ill spend it and be poor for the rest of my life.
