Evolution of Technology (class 10).

In this class we continued reading the book, ‘The Age of Earthquakes’ by Douglas Coupland, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Shumon Basar.

Our generation is the one who is going to face the most earthquakes, Because icebergs are melting on poles which manages some weight on earth. An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. … When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth’s crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

The page reads our lives no more feel like stories. Earlier people used to share the stories and there life felt like story worth to share. But after internet dominated humans it all feels like same. Everyone feels the same thing.

This line from one of the pages of book stayed with me. Like if you’ve already assumed something there are chances that it might have happened in the past with you, so there won’t be anything new to experience from outcome. The new experience must be strange and unique and something worth to learn from.

Playing a computer game teaches us to play the another computer game. It all feels like almost same. The other half of this page reads that natural human attention snap is the length of one Beatles song. Which I feel is debatable as as person has unique sets of qualities or characteristics.

The page explains about different types of life's depending upon stories to share or not.

As everything is getting so technologically advanced. Soon the time will come where even aquariums will get more advanced than entire NASA program. World is changing too fast.
