As in our immune systems being lowered, DL? Are we over sanitised and de-germed? I think we are wiping out our ability to cope with new germs, bacteria etc.

Man has so far managed to combat natures PEST CONTROL attempts,so it may be a diesease which gets us in the end.

War - I doubt we have ever learnt from past experiences. The same old grievances brought up time and time again over centuries.

Sue xx

yes, until something happens to bring the world to its senses, the human race is hell bent on self destruction by warfare. Mostly over the same issue :-)

Man is no different to the animal world in many respects.

We reproduce,squabble over territory and females LOL,kill to eat etc etc,

The one thing we do differ from is the animals seem to know how to keep the balance.
Until we know this then yes there is a possibilty we will certaily try to exterminate ourselves.

Well the educational experts say that children don't retain knowledge anymore. This is because they look up information on the internet, copy it into their books and assignments, then forget it. After all if they need to find the info. again it's there on the computer. Will future generations just have a "knowledge" chip inserted in their brains where all information is there without the use of books, schools, teachers etc.

hmmmm........i think man will destroy itself .were on a mission as it is .

My radical theory is we will devolve rather than evolve, due to the increase in technology.

My theory is based on things I have noticed in our current enviroment. mainly the internet has made us lazy.

WHY?

As touched on earlier on this thread.

Firstly if we wanted to post a letter we used a post box,now we have E-mail.
We shop online,we bank online,we pays our bills online,we even talk to our friends online LOL.
SO why do we need to evolve when we don't need to get off our bums.

DL

yes, a very sad spectacle indeed.

The murder of female babies seems to be the order of the day through China's attempts at compulsory birth control.

Of course there is the entry of VR.

Why evolve in the real world when there is a virtual one?.

DL

Well, that'd be me out of your picture of the everafter

Just as well I've got an alternative vision - which, funnily enough, doesn't feature Lara Croft ot Fiona Bruce

Btw, welcome back, Eldrick - I've missed your wit

When you look at all the disasters sea related,,,,is the earth crumbling from the inside out has it already started?

yes, I think they do. One child to all urban couples, which has led to the unpleasant sight of newborn childrens bodies lying in the street.

Fiona Bruce?????

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Just asked OH and he said he would too pmsl

Blimey....

Don't the Chinese have some kind of birth control policy already?.

DL

Remember the movie Solyent Green?

Soylent Green is a 1973 American science fiction film depicting a dystopian future in which overpopulation leads to depleted resources, which in turn leads to widespread unemployment and poverty. Real fruit, vegetables and meat are rare, expensive commodities, and much of the population survives on processed food rations, including "soylent green" wafers. "Soylent Green is people! We've got to stop them somehow!"

If I was world president, I would make that compulsory. Either Lara Croft or Fiona Bruce.

The Logan Run was the compulsory euthanasia of all who reached a certain age - I think it more likely that ruthless birth management will be the only manageable solution. But theres no doubt that the world only has a finite capacity to feed it's population.
