Re: Inventions That Change Our Lives.

All due credit to the inventors for making life so much easier.....However, when do we call it a day on future inventions, because it's progress brought on by inventions that are seeing the planet wasted and turned into a pile of waste material and big holes in the surface while excavating for exciting new materials.

The power of flight has brought us Covid19, and the motor vehicle so much pollution. Together with the credit and debit card the internet has brought us a new kind of criminal, who can sneak your money away while you sleep, or coordinate protests and wars all over the world simultaneously...

I believe it will be progress and inventions that finishes off the human race, or sets it back ten thousand years when everything runs out (especially oil) or natural catastrophe takes down the internet and other relied upon technologies....
Sorry to be balloon buster, and it probably won't happen in our time, but happen it will.....Nothing ever stays the same......

Well maybe ..but that's not technology, apart from the possibly 'made in Australia' cameras and scoreboard.

Now now OGF without progress we are back as cave dwellers. I believe we are now trying to make amends for polluting our planet over the past 150 years. Those holes in the ground these days are for greener energy sources to power our next gen vehicles and power stations. There is hope yet for the human race and our planet.
