As technology races ahead, we need to judge carefully how it is used. Unfortunately, it is the habit of people to invent things just because they can, with little regard to the consequences. We buy all kinds of gadgets to get ourselves out of the minutest kinds of work, instead of getting exercise and having the satisfaction of doing things ourselves. I'm sure we'll still be doing this in 50 years. I bless and honor those who still practice the old-time skills.
People today are addicted to their cell phones, computer screens, and microwave ovens.
Everything must be faster, faster. I trust that in 50 years people will still do real things, non-electronic things. Please tell me that we still crochet, garden, chop wood, bake bread, build with stone, go hiking, read a book in the hammock, play in an orchestra, write letters with pen and paper, fly kites. Probably housing will be much the same, only with more electronic wizardry built in. Clark County is filling up with people, just as our former town did.
