What if all the inventions mankind seemingly has come up with, at the recent veracious velocity, already existed?
What if they are being put in our hands in increments. Certainly would explain how people like Gene Rodenberry
are made out to look like such great visionarys. Maybe certain people are allowed to see things ahead of time.
Before they are released to our hands. So they can then make a T.V. series like star trek. Bluetooth and the communicators.
I have thought this way for years. SnF

Well, I am glad I stopped by to see what you have been up too. Nice presentation! I wholeheartedly agree with you. Man did not just become Smart over night. We must of had some help. Just the stealth bomber for example. Not that I know for sure, but I was told, it was actually around since the 50's but we didnt know about it until the 80's. How close that is to right I don't know, like I said it is just what I heard, but it has to be somewhat close to the truth.
I remember talking with a friend back in like 1999 and we were wishing we could somehow attach our pc's to our belt so we could travel with them... lol guess we were internet addicts. Here we are down the road and all I need it my mere cell phone and Im now connected in one little gizmo.
Something like putting gigabytes on something the size of a pinhead is incredible in itself. There really is just so much that it becomes rather mind boggling when you think about it.
I have to say, I have always been rather glad I was born in the late 50's so that I could experience the days you could leave your door unlocked and actually play games outside and also experience these days of the scifi I read then.

Thats exactly the thinking people want us to have. That these inventions were created solely by man, and man alone. And thats fine. People who want to have that thinking, are going to have that thinking. I did not create this post to say that my way of thinking, or what I've learned, is the correct way by any means. Im just putting out there what I have learned, and how I relate it to human kind as a whole. Sure the snowball effect comes into play, but just think back when the lightbulb was created. It was HUGE! And now that we have this new "technology" were just.... meh. People dont understand half the concepts of what makes all this happen, they dont want to. Thats whats wrong. We need to ask questions, and strive for the truth. Not just on this forum, but within life all in itself. Demand answers, and they shall be shown. Dont just accept life as it is, but ask for greater knowledge. I had a great teacher once, who told me all the time.... dont a s k dont g e t (yes he spelled it out, just to show people that we need to ask). And thats exactly what he meant.

I agree partially, but wanting to understand all techonology/science around us is not always enough to get there. It took me 4 years to get a bachelor's degree and I think I only know a small part of my field. Not because things are hidden from me (though maybe some are), but there's just so much out there to study. And that came from the things discussed already: thousands of years of exponential discoveries done by a lot of people, with or without external help.
Also, we should be careful to label things as definately non-man made, maybe we just don't understand the whole process, because of what I said previously: there's just so much out already.
