i am sitting at a local amusement park. myself and 4 other buses from our company picked up a middle school band for a fun day trip. i am sitting here on my bus surfing the internet. one of the best creations i have seen. i am amazed that technology has advanced so much. i mentioned earlier about my ideas on “roughing it” and i must add being in an area without wi-fi is near the top.
as i think about things i marvel over, the second one has to be those flashlights that don’t require batteries. just shake and turn on. i have had mine for about 2-3 years and carry it in my briefcase. as a matter of fact, i bought my children some to keep in their rooms. i had one of those big mag-lights with 4 “d” cell batteries. whenever the power would go out, it was usually dead because the kids played with it and ran the batteries down. not any more. just shake and now they have light. every time, just when they need it. and with my own, i don’t have to wonder if i will have light or not.
the future for our children is exciting to the point of being scary. new inventions and creations that seem “rocket science” will become a part of their daily routine just like cell phones with cameras and mp3 players in one package. the scary part is what direction will science go in their lifetime? cloning scares me. will my kids have the ability to re-create themselves just like their mother, me and God did? it scares me to think that our children of tomorrow may not actually be people but some new form of “test tube” baby. i also wonder if the morals we hold sacred in our “civilized” society will be replaced or relaxed to the point of no longer being anything close to what we hold dear.
as i said, exciting. really exciting. and scary. really scary
Until next time…
