I wish I wasn’t addicted to learning everything I can about most subjects. I remember when I was naive and didn’t know what was going on in the world. Oh, for those days.

Today we are besieged by so many problems that we news junkies can see an end to society as we know it and possibly all of life.

Over population is a certainty without a disaster. Global warming is probably going to be extremely disruptive, causing extinctions of many species, possibly ours. Political concord is seemingly gone forever. A few years ago we were concerned about electro-magnetism in cell phones and power lines. Now we need to be concerned how much cancer the new high powered G-5 dish will cause. We have enormous islands of plastic wastes floating in our oceans and it won’t ever decompose. We have invented micro plastics which are being ingested in the creatures we eat and the water we drink. We finally had the air and water cleaned up and now the EPA is supposed to reduce the regulations. We are causing the loss of our songbirds and butterflies.

Of all the disasters I already knew of, I find we are now creating viruses to kill agricultural pests. GMO isn’t a real danger but when we create viruses, we don’t know what the final effects will be. Will the one designed to kill crop-killing caterpillars kill only that species or end up killing not just them but all butterflies and moths. GMO is a better idea.

What will the world be like in twenty or fifty years? Never has humanity faced such a disastrous future — not even during the Cuban Missile crisis. Technology is racing to a questionable future!
