Why such a change?

[outhouse]

does anyone care to attempt to explain WHY man has technologically advanced so much faster in the last few decades as opposed to his many thousands of years of existence?

its a good question really.

the answer is simple, overpopulation

this has led to greater communication and more busy minds for that one or two good ideas to leak out.

thomas edison
tesla
einstein
ect ect

you can follow the gradual changes made due to over population that the world has never seen.

When man started working with iron and steel it set a chain of events off that came to fruition with a few great minds that were able to expand what the most brilliant minds came up with.
