Re: A peek into the near future???
It may not be a good thing as most will be lost due to the dependance on technology to do their thinking. Its been proven that more a human brain is used to think, the better it gets in problem solving.
Go to a store where young people work the cash registers. If the computers go down they are lost as they can't add the total, inculde tax, and worst of all they don't know how to tender change from the cash. I have witnessed this many times in our stores. Usually we pull in the older folks to handle the front counters.
I just feel many rely to heavily on technology to get through the day.
I remember when in the Navy the computers would go down and things would come to a halt. "Cancel the War as the computers are down". We all know that isn't going to happen.

I know you think I watch too much tv, but look back through history at the things that would never happen, you know, things like, man will never walk on the moon, guess what. It really is not that far fetched, it could happen.
