And one might also ask why our economy still sucks and yet nobody storms the White House? People are complacent, too complacent. People are uncomfortable with change as well. People grow used to certain things and are unwilling to make changes, even if they are for the better. The most important thing to a person is to feel comfortable and secure, and the very thought of change, whether it is a change in administration or a change in operating system, is terrifying for them.
Just doing a little ranting here but to be honest with myself, I'm just plain dissapointed at the slow progress of technology when there isn't a major (i.e. WWII) conflict that threatens the livelihood of every individual on the planet. Seems like there's so much red tape, PC, and over-zealous religious figures to go through these days to get enough things done. I'm dissapointed at how seemingly little progress artificial limbs have made in the past 40 years. Is going from a wooden arm to a plastic arm with an electronic clamp such a great leap in 40 years time? Oh just blowing off some steam on slow technological progress, thats all.
