Just How Deep Does The Rabbit Hole Go?

[lesfamilia]

I don't want to add to the "stockpile" of supposedly paranoid conspiracy and Illuminati threads, but I want to look at something from a differentperspective. What if we're living in the world that much of the science fiction we're familiar with alluded to...? It's 2010, and while we'renot doing that much more than we were doing 50 or even ten years ago, in a sense we are. I was watching a little Twilight Zone with my Dad earlier, andthought aloud, "What would the kids who grew up in the 50s and 60s think if they saw the things that kids today have?" Sometimes I feel like thehuman brain is so advanced that even we don't give each other enough credit, for whatever reason. What are your thoughts?

just take the time to appreciate life there are many things that is still not known to the general public. Look around life is an amazing phenonenom, and notjust humans. i constantly think and see life in a different way. ppl need to apreciate it. yea i smoke refer. but its not a bad thing. the govt just doesntwant all that drug propaganda money used over the pas decades to go to waste. Marijuana saves lives and make ppl see the REAL life.

We are, because the fiction was inspired by people extrapolating from the world they knew and those kids who grow up reading the fiction went out to create thethings they grew up reading about. We have cell phones because of Star Trek. You what TASER stands for? Thomas A Swift's Electric Rifle. Whence came thyrocket ships and submarine if not for the nautilus and for cavorite? as Prospero said. Our world is constantly interpolating with that world of fiction becausethat is the hyperuranic dreamtime that gives shape to all those things we wish to make physical.

Wow, thought I was the only one. Writer had me at the title but failed at the paragraph.

LIES!

like Falcon4567 said, we strive to make things that we once could only imagine,into reality. What better goal to strive for than those from science fiction novels and movies. Things such as lightspeed, lasers, and space travel are beingacademically studied today. You could say that it was because of the wild ideas of some people that we have all these advances in technology today.

Have you decided to ignore the advancements in electrical engineering?

Based on Moore's law by 2050: There will probably be a computer which has more computing capacity than human race as a whole.
I think the computers today are equivalent to a chimpanzee or some !#!%.

I used to be REALLY into this EE, semiconductor, transistor revolution stuff. But I toned it down. Electronics have made huge advancements, but I'll gowith what you're saying. There are other fields where the advancements have not been as profound.

LOL... One of my best friends is an electrical engineering major, ironically enough. You and ToySoldier made good points: I had an idea of what Iwanted to say in my initial post, but was just stumbling around as to how I would articulate it to everyone else.

I'm definitely going to check out that YouTube clip that was posted on the first page this afternoon, though.
