Well I can't read all the replies but some are good others just banter... anyway....
"THE WORLD IS FLAT!!!!"
or was it....
"THE EARTH IS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!"
or was it....
"THE ATOM IS THE SMALLES PARTICLE!!!!"
or was it....
"AUTOMOBILES WILL KILL US. HOW CAN HUMANS TRAVEL FASTER THAN 50mph???"
or was it....
"PLUTO IS THE NINTH PLANET!!!"
Anyway, Science investigates stuff. It never stops to search for new frontiers. Nothing is wrong or right. It only says "we don't know....yet". Is it not us mere non scientists that always interpret a whole lot of stuff around it?
Humanity and Science has been wrong about so many things in the past. Why not here? TCM is thousands of years old (as are most other alternative practices too). They definitely can heal and I think there's a couple of billion people out there who'd agree with me.
I see Western and alternative medicine as a perfect symbiosis. I'd never want to have a homeopath treat me when I have had a car accident or when I need a heart bypass! But I'd love him to help me get through the side-effects of my chemo or help me with my sleeping problems that I don't want to take drugs for. There is no right or wrong.
I think both (or is that all) medicines have one thing in common. They all have the desire to help people get well again. There's enough people out there in need of help. Some medics malpractice and some alternative practitioners are quacks but hey, isn't that always the case?
Read the book for all means! It is probably a good rant. But do me a favour and get it off piratebay or from the library. Don't give an unqualified quack/hack (I'm a little confused as to the right wording here) who can write money for writing such nonsense. If on the other hand you teat it as a comedy...by all means buy it.
All I'd say is for all the banter keep an open mind and for goodness sake do what makes you healthy. Listen to what your body and mind tells you and not some stupid book or your neighbour or your local pharmaceutical company.
Hi.
Have a look here: http://www.rosettaproject.org/
That's for 10.000 years +! Maybe there's the odd idea that might help you.
I think the best way is to think back 25-50 years and see what has survived (i.e. can still be read). Then extrapolate from that. My current take on it. Put it all on a NetBook like EeePC or Acer Aspire One and bury the whole thing (cheap option, expensive option would be a whole notebook). Make sure you take care of the battery. Research what you have to do to make it survive 25 years.
This solution incoorporates all the technology needed to reproduce the images in a digital way. I think there will be some way to interface these devices to technology in 25 years.
Cheers Oliver
