Human race is sleepwalking into extinction

THE world is full of species that are showing signs of evolution. Birds and monkeys that can use tools to break open seeds, etc, are just one example.

We humans have brains that are far more complex than computers, and we are also capable of huge steps forward to improve ourselves. Why then, are we inventing cars to do our driving and computers to do our spelling? Hoovers and mowers can also work themselves. Children are raised by TVs and computers, as well as mobile phones. By using machines to do everything for us, aren’t we in danger of making ourselves redundant? Why would we be of any use anymore?

Machines can now make themselves on production lines (have done for years). This is being carried out in the belief that machines are less likely to make mistakes than humans. Spoiler alert, it is humans that programme the machines. Surely that will only perpetuate the errors!

Machines will just replace humans. What are we doing with the time that we now have, now that things are being done for us? You can now ask the tv to recommend any programmes that you might like. What happened to experiments and choosing ourselves? Are we to be brainwashed by a machine? Our perimeters will shrink.

If the reliance on computers was to suddenly be stopped, say by cyber attack, would the human race survive? Grow our own food, make our own materials and clothes? Educate our own children about the basics? Some children don’t even know where food comes from. So much for evolution of knowledge.

Individuality and freedom of expression are also being steadily indoctrinated out of us until we are blindly bumping into each other in panic of upsetting someone. We are being stifled. We are also constantly primed with being told about our ‘rights’ whilst getting trampled in the rush of people determined to act on theirs. Unfortunately, they forget we all basically have the same rights, so it cancels everything out really.

We are not pushing ourselves personally. The human race is slowly sleepwalking into extinction, like the dinosaurs. I know it was the Ice Age that finished them off, but I hope you get my drift.
