As I sit and ponder this Fri Morn about how we came to be, I thought it would be a good idea to list the real turning points in human history (at least those that I know of) -
1. Polymaths like Leonardo da Vinci and Ben Franklin brought ideas of electricity and geometry into practical light - seems we are more in the dark about stuff than Vinci and gang ever were;
2. Bernoulli taught us about principles that led to early flight - now there are highly paid consultants and corporate hoodlums shuttling around the planet for no apparent reason other than sustaining air travel for the airlines to remain operational, and for themselves to rack up enough points so they can binge on another excursion with their botoxed companions;
3. Edison brought us the telephone and look where we are now - can't stop yakking or texting (just another incarnation of using another part of the anatomy to basically conduct meaningless chit chat);
4. Amar Bose gave us the loudspeaker - a refined and 'sound' listening experience that is enjoyed by millions ignorant of the great engineer that designed this technology;
5. 1 Russian and 1 Michigander (while we are running hot with the whole BIRTHER stories in the media it is important to get the fact straight) gave us the wondorous magic of looking anything up, anytime, anywhere we could connect to the Internet through Google!;
6. 1 prodigy that grew up with non biological parents yet created one of the most recoginzed brands and became ubiquitous for true innovation gave us the fruity yet amazingly versatile product in the iPhone.
Yee ha - the human 'race' has not quite ended I hope.
