Technology is so deceptive these days. When people make predictions about what will be possible within a certain number of years, they tend to vastly underestimate it because of linear thinking (tech progress is actually exponential).

Something I've had some fun with lately, when speaking with someone about how fast technology moves, is describing a particular product or ability and asking them if they think it will happen within the next 20 years. Very often they say no, which is funny because in every case I'm describing something that has already been created.

Most people have no idea what we are capable of doing now, much less what will be possible within a decade.

Rumor is it gives excellent hand jobs

How about plunging a knife point into a table in the spaces between somebody's fingers?

^Psychologic:


Morality is usually a couple steps behind technology though, as the ages pass, the likely hood of complete annihilation increases exponentially along side it. Not that I am promoting living in the stone age, merely pointing out that our progress walk hand in hand with our doom.

( ya, and that hand is fracken swchweet!)
