I wouldn't say we have irreparably weakened the human race (yet any way) and I defiantly see where your going with this. Star and flag for you sir
I would say we have irreversibly changed ourselves though, not completely for the worse I would like to add. I look at it like this, we have largely
taken our own evolution into our own hands, and still now we don't totally and universally understand the consequences and the enormity of doing
that. But were learning slowly - and it's a pretty interesting ride wouldn't you say?
I reckon we'll be ok so long as there is at the very least a small minority of vocal and level headed people who let their kids climb trees and cross
the road, kids need to know how to behave near traffic, you cannot learn that at a desk, or watching from the back seat of a nice safe Range Rover on
the 2 minute daily drive to and from school.
Hopefully in the next few generations we will continue to approach enlightenment towards such things, the foundations have been laid by previous ones.
It's an interesting little period in our development right now (but I would bet every generation has thought that of their own!) growing pains if
you like.
