Wow. This short story really mesmerized me. It makes you look at the life that you are living and really stop and think about what is REALLY going on in the world, and your life. It really makes sense on how the world is so not-natural, what really captivated me in the article was when the author stated that "nothing is really "invented"
therein everything is hyper-functional: taffic and accidents, technology and
death, sex and the camera eye." This is what got my buttons to push. I mean everything, everything is controlled by someone or somewhat. This has not just been recently going on either, I mean, it has always been like that. It just makes you think what would life be like without technology or what if we were still in the cave-man days? Would we still be in a controlled society or would there still be a higher form of the normal humans, an example being police, politicians, a president, ect. This article made me think of the movie The Matrix, many times throughout it. The idea of the matrix is similar to this, that once you get to a point so far in technology, or into the universe, what happens when we cannot go any farther? Do we start to decompose and turn around and go backwards, or maybe even destroy ourselves? I honestly do not think that we are going to start our turn around as human beings any time soon because I feel, in my own opinion, that we still have many more technological advancements to experience. Not just with space, medical advancements, or gene replacement therapy, but I think that where we are going to go wrong is not with the huge weapons of mass destruction, but with replacing body parts or anatomy, to the point where me start making people, in a sense, "super humans," or if you have played the hit game of xbox, Halo, they refer to these people as "Cyborgs." If someone has a whole army of these things, then who will rule the earth? And lets face it, every leader of any country's main desire is to control. It is all about control, and how they want their own world to be. No one in their mind is right but themselves, and that's the only way they will see it and no one can budge them. I think I got a little carried away in this review, but if you are encouraged to read this, be ready to have your mind expanded in a natural way. This one will make you really think deep, if you care.
