They say each era and its understanding of the universe is referenced by its largest mechanical achievment.
500 years ago. This was the clock.
50 Years ago. This was the computer.
Now, I believe its networking. The internet is changing the way we access information. And it was only invented recently.
Think of it like this though. What major technological advancements occured in the 9000 years before christ? Or the millions and millions of years pre-dating that?
If you look at the world with a more broard sense of history, you would see that almost every major technological advancment has occured within the last 3000 years. So, a steady stream of progression scientifically is ofcourse not compleatly nessecary for existance. And as we evolve as a species, we seek to constantly innovate our existing ideas and essentually aim for perfection.
However having said that. Our final frontier is space. Right now, satalite technology is all the buzz in the world of high end business and media giants. And ofcourse the next technology jumps will occur when we begin constructing habitats on the moon and mars.
In reality, this is only the dawn of our technological era. Computers, robots, the internet.. These are inventions that are realistically only in EARLY stages of development. Because ofcourse, the world is not only going to be around for our own time, the world is still going to be here 1000 years from now.
Companies are even planning methods for asteroid mining. Because ofcourse, there are large chunks of matter just flying about in our universe randomly and in orbits.
I do believe there will be a war within the next 20 years that will devestate large portions of the worlds population. And comming out of this, will be like starting from scratch with all our previously aquired knowledge. If you catch my drift.
Every era advances within its own bounds. Currantly we are bounded by a new sense of the world getting smaller and in more direct connection. Once we fully grow into this, the human species will become no longer, a bunch of countrys... Rather a planet population in its first stages of entering the final frontier of space.
