Don't lose sight of the forest b/c of all the trees.
History moves forward, never backward. Since the dawn of history the race of man has weathered massive changes to his world; discoveries that kick up a lot of dust in their wake.
Over time -- and through much sturm und drang --the human race itself to these changes, i.e., the discovery/harnessing of fire; the invention/usage of the wheel; the compass; the printing press; discovery of new world; electricity; the internal combustion engine; birth control pills.
Today we are living through yet another massive change: the computer.
And, as per usual, a great deal of dust is being kicked up, but than it always has. In time and over time human society will adjust. The dust will settle just as it always has. The past is morphing into the future in a big,big way and we --and our thoughts, hopes, fears, plans and dreams-- are caught up in the whirl wind.
LOL! Or, as mothers everywhere would say, "It's just a phase we're going through."
Guess who wrote:
“I would say that parents should teach their children anything that’s known to be factually true –like “that’s a bluebird” or “that’s a bald eagle.” Or they could teach children that there are such things as religious beliefs. But to teach children that it is a fact that there is one god or that God created the world in six days, that is child abuse.”
