...my point was that you just never know whats around the corner. I totally agree with you on that. Look at all the scientific advancements we've seen in our own short lives.
I remember my grandfather once marveling at the great advances he'd witnessed in his own life. He was born at the onset of the automobile era, when most Americans still owned a horse and buggy.
He lived to see men walk on the moon, and the advent of hand held calculators and personal computers. In his mind, he'd lived through the greatest era of technological advancement in history. I found it hard to disagree with him, but I must say, our era isn't exactly standing still.
We're going to see some pretty amazing technologies emerge before our time has passed.

Maybe so, but I'm really disappointed with medicine right now. We came up with a huge victory over polio 60 years ago, and while there have been "advances" in treating other diseases, there have been no breakthrough discoveries. I'm talking diseases like MS, MD, cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, et al.
