Sunday afternoon. One particular member of humanity. It made me go giddy. No more details. Oh, and the Sunday before that. Same person, different reasons.

Because I woke up. I almost didn't bother. One small step, etc. Humanity jitters along at the everydayness of humans.

However, for a less buggering answer, I would say the advent of social networking and the ubiquity of cell-phones is the most significant collective step forward of the civilized world towards whatever.

I'd say social networking and the ubiquity of cell-phones makes communication such a commodity that it is extremely devalued and taken for granted. So much so that many of us have forgotten how to really communicate with others.

I think we are more prone to try imposing our egos on random strangers on the internet, and that's alright, whatever, even though it will always feel like a mutilated form of communication without the phisycal presence of an audience in front of your thinking/doing. So, yeah, the internet- interesting and often stimulating thing, yet ultimately it doesn't exactly change people's immedite condition. Not the vast majority of them, anyway.

I agree with you. But there's been more damage than this.

splitting an atom can power yr home for eternity, or it can bomb yr neighbor until they glow.

Can anyone tell me how we're any better than ancient civilizations? Technologically we're more advanced, but as a society what more do we have to offer?

Depends on your definition of "better". More advanced certainly.

We live longer for a start.
