Stil playing taxi for my son, don't mind since he moved out i miss our woerd conversation. So we were dicussing topics for an editorial he has to write for his journalism class and this was the topic i came up with.
There is no more invention, and if you think about that it's true. I won't even go back and bug joe caveman. Just consider: Samuel Morse, creator of the telegraph, his inspiration, hated delivering messages by horse. Now obviously telegraphs are passe but, early in the 19th century... it was like magic. Same with trains, steam engines, steam boats... things we consider out moded or outdated were HUGE leaps beyod what they replaced. We no longer do that... we just take existing ideas and try to make them a little better and get caught up with the toys. My thinking, why do i care if my kids can watch videos in the car, I'm still in a car.
Think about it. In the late 19th century men did not look to breed slicker, smaller, & faster breeds of horses for greater personal conveyance. They looked for a new means altogether. They toild and experimented and created the horseless carriage... not an improvement on an existing design it was something new! Why aren't we working on new?
I know this will sound silly but why do we accept corporations just churning out slicker versions of the same thing? Why isn't someone trying to creat a hydrogen celled personal jetpack? There's the answer to envirometal, fuel burning, traffic jams, you name it... most every problem associated with travel, solved. You don't even need roads... But the corporate world does not want old technology to be replaced by new technology because the lose income... My opinion, the corporate capital culture dull creativity to protect itself the way proto-humans wish they could have protected themselves from the rise of humans. I think we need to throw off the mental shackles of copro-capitalist culture, get back to the roots of human culture... Mother Necessity, where are you?
