Heh. It's been a while since I've done a blog. But then again, I don't expect people daily checking my stuff to see if I wrote a new one. Anyways, I've been busy.
The first thing I wanted to talk about was a discussion I had with some friends. We were talking about how younger generations are growing up into a more tech dependent society. They are being socialized into the interweb at younger ages. There are 2nd life like games for all ages. Theres World of Warcraft. There's xbox-live. There are just so many online interactive ways for people to interact with people. This is the new way of life. People are meeting people online. It's always nice to have real life friends, but now people are making online friends.
The topic eventually changed. Now my friends started talking about advances in technology and human life. A friend was talking about how premature babies will be born instead of regular ones in the future, because of advances to technology. I told him that it could be possible, but under one constraint. For more babies to be born prematurely, there would have to be a cause to make them come out prematurely. Like maybe something happened to our world and all babies from there on were born prematurely. Or maybe there was some advantage of being born prematurely in the genes. So eventually the premature born babies outnumbered the regular born ones and simply replace the human population. It's crazy to think about. Mutation and genes are very interesting. Our society and world is changing so much and yet it seems so small and insignificant compared to our everyday lives. We are experiencing history.
