Words to live by. Also, it was only 50 years ago a man went into space. I'm not even sure the last shuttle launch was mentioned on a major network news cast. We are desensitized to some pretty amazing things. What will our kids have to dream about when nothing is impressive?
While the current pace of innovation seems breathtaking, here’s something to consider: 100 years ago, we were not even sure what an atom was. Ernest Rutherford had to show us, with a pretty simple set of experiments, that the atom had a nucleus. 100 years later we have taken the atom for granted and criticize new tablet computers for not having a better camera. I feel like science is dissolving into the background of technology in a way that is both amazing and depressing.
