    Each invasion of China had revolved the thinking and creation of the Chinese in the past, particularly during the Ming, and Song Dynasty. Good piece, liked it.

    We have the capability to fix things, if we agree that Mother Nature is more important than Exxon.
    Thanks,

    I am looking forward to the future, still stuck on the 2012 mystery though. Changes sure are happening quick.

    Personally I belive we are moving too fast and destroying our own future in our desire to “improve” it. by eliminating disease we have overpopulated our planet and are destroying it.
    humans intelligence is also their stupidity.
    (for the record I recognized human overpopulation to be the major problem and only had 1 kid)

    Interesting and elaborate.But within ten centuries from the date of invention of paper in the year 1009, we have made giant strides of course traversing nature.But only time will tell, whether it is good or for bad, we have to wait and see and we cannot come to any predetermined conclusions.Who knows man himself may come forward with solutions for some of the problems you have cited.Thanks for sharing.

    You onlyhave to watch a twenty year old movie to appreciate how rapidly things change.

    It’s very detailed with a lot of food for thought. We have seen many inventions, and all for the good of mankind. But we must never forget the one who gave us the ability to do this……
    and if it serves his purpose, most likely, he will permit us to make greater inventions.
    Thanks for sharing. Monica.

    Incredible dissertation. Sam Morse thought God hath wrought something when he invented the telegraph. What yet to be wroughteth?

    As always, you made me think! Sometimes, I would like to just go to an island and not have ANY inventions—me and just books!
    Great article! Thank you…

    We can’t begin to imagine what will be “invented” in the future. Just hope some of it is actually beneficial to Earth and her people.

    By the way, your “like it” button on this article doesn’t seem to be functioning properly – have tried several times – maybe needs to be reinvented.

    Time moves on at such a pace these days! What used to take 10 years in development, now only takes a year! What sort of wprld will we be living in in 25 years time? I can’t wait to see the future….lets hope it’s a good one!
