Time for the human race to call it a day, I think.
Everyone seems to be so hell bent on replacing human intelligence with machines that there's really no point in continuing.
In previous centuries, people had things called memories, they could learn how to spell, add up in their head, learn skills with tools, learn skills like driving, communication, writing etc.
Now it seems that peoples brains have deteriorated to the point where nobody can spell without the aid of a checker in everything, can't remember what food they need, can add up, can't even write down a shopping list.
If technology keeps intruding, you won't need to remember routes, won't need to learn skills like driving or co-ordination, you will just sit in a car push a button and be taken to your destination.
Technology was supposed to supplement human intelligence, not replace it. I suspect at this rate humans of the future will be too stupid to do anything for themselves. So much for 'innovation'
Humm.. bit more like 'Modern History Tech'
