Humans Evolving through Technology

Virtual Evolution

Throughout our society, evolution is happening exponentially. At a pace often impossible to comprehend. But it’s not happening physically. Humans are generally not becoming stronger or faster. We are creating external tools to help us evolve.

Technology Ruining Life
Having just gotten a new smartphone I have become consumed with it to the point that I am not aware of my environment.  Spending hours at a time discovering cyber space is putting a damper on enjoying Reality Space.
Went out to Denny's yesterday to have a buger with my mom.  Got there and they had a build your own burger special where you choose from the type of bun to the toppings and sides.  The burger came, we ate, and when I was done I felt like I had missed out on enjoying the burger because I was so plugged into to the phone that I was missing out on one of life's most intimiate pleasures EATING.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
~ Charles Darwin



And as Darwin once famously noted, those who are able to change with the surroundings will survive.

The way I see it, there are only two scenarios for society:

    Adopt the latest technology, (wisely)
    Allow the world to leave you behind

So unless you plan on living the rest of your life on an island, disconnected from the outside world, you must embrace technology. It’s not slowing or going away anytime soon.
