How science transformed the world in 100 years

I'm afraid human scientific knowledge will pretty much always outstrip human socioeconomic development. I wish that weren't the case, however, I'm afraid it most likely generally always will be. I've spent a very long time absorbing many different areas of science, I've seen, and before I became ill, helped develop several of them, or at least very seriously tried to help, in any event. Different societies, as I've said on here elsewhere before, sociologically, and economically, develop at different rates, that too, I'm afraid, is equally unavoidable. There's a fairly famous quoteby Henry Adams during the Civil War about his having lamented the development of military science during that period, and the constant fascination with it, I'll try to find the quote and send it in here, it was mentioned in the Ken Burns Civil War PBS T' series, I'm afraid that, too, has unfortunately been rather a constant human predilection and preoccupation now for millennia, I'm afraid, many thanks.

Great read. When I first joined the Army I was stationed at Fort Carson Colorado. They had an old IBM computer. Our hand held calculator had more power. Where we are today is light years from where we were. It is astonishing.

We are not a smart as we believe. I hope we have the wisdom to properly use some of the stuff that is on the horizon, or I wish we never had the knowledge in the first place.
