Why such a change?

[sniper762]

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?

I would say that it is because people are now encouraged to continue on wards. That, and we are interconnected with each other more so now than really ever before.

Then there is also that we have enough people who can actually specialize in different areas.

i dont think that we are as close knit or interconnected as our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

the difference, i believe is that we are getting closer and more interconnected to the mysteries of god, through his help. we should be ready soon.

its more like the last 200 years.

They went to the moon what 41 years ago lol

Our ability to communicate better has had the most impact.

knowledge in electronics has evolved dramatically in the last 30 years

You can thank scientist for evey part.

we should be ready soon

For what?

I meant interconnected by as a society. We may not be closer personally, but the world itself is more connected. For instance, we have the internet which allows people from all over to communicate with one another.

BUT WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN? READY FOR WHAT? we are getting closer and more interconnected to the MYSTERIES OF GOD, through his help. we should be ready soon.

THATS MY POINT. BUT WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN?

I wouldn't attribute too much to the modern era technology to our own era. Afterall the Greeks and especially the Romans had technologies that wouldn't be enjoyed again until over a thousand years later. Da Vinci even conceived many of our "modern" ideas hundreds of years ago. Things such as robots, hydraulics, vehicles, and air craft, and medical advances he designed a long time ago. We have even found what may have been ancient navigation computers.
I think why it has taken such a stronger hold in our lives is because we aren't spending sun rise to sun set tending to large fields, herds of livestock, making our clothes by hand, preserving our own food, and many other tasks that had to be done that made it more difficult to have the time to come up with new inventions.

 

[sniper762]

greeks had cars, jet planes, computers? not even close.

 

[truseeker]

knowledge is like a puzzle. after you get a few parts together the other parts become easier

 

[sniper762]

so we assembled a little over the past 100,000 years and a lot more in the last 200? big change, hey?

Aliens...!!!!! :zoroast:

 

[sniper762]

aliens? now that makes sense.

 

[fallingblood]

aliens? now that makes sense.

It does. First, they helped us build the pyramids and advance during that time period. Then they sat back and watched. Later, some other aliens, remembering what they did with the pyramids, decided that they would copy it, but on a bigger impact.


Actually, I think much of it has to do with an allowance to do expand. Science was being more excepted, and was being expanded. It was even being supported in many fields.

Um...
Religious leaders do not have nearly as much pull in in the science field?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

greeks had cars, jet planes, computers? not even close.

Da Vinci built a robot, invented hydraulics, discovered cholesterol, came up with the idea for cars and helicopters, and discovered a gold mine of knowledge of the human anatomy, the Romans had plumbing and even eye surgery, and these navigation "computers" obviously were not the computers we have today. And then there was the technology utilized by cultures throughout the ancient world that enabled them to build grand monuments that are of great size and have withstood the test of time.

their technology may have been implanted in the minds of our scientists, doctors and technicians in recent past in order for us to get to their level, maybe preparing us to fullly compehend god.

Now you are just grasping at straws.

 

[sniper762]

nothing that even remotely compares to today's technology, shadow. dont be so naive
