The Original American Chopper Fan Forum, and the new, and Original Orange County Choppers on CMT Fan Forum

In 2000 years, humanity will have either disappeared from the face of the planet, or will have come full-circle, be adorned with animal hide clothing, and will rediscover fire sometime around the year 50.  Humanity is not capable of living with advanced technologies without finding the need to abuse that technology in some way, most often by attempting to destroy a perceived adversary, or inadvertently destroying itself by overlooking a significant factor. 

At the rate we're going with the impending "bacterial resistance crisis", we'll be transported back to 1939 within five years. Our resources are misplaced/poorly administrated and used, as their should be a "Manhattan Project" styled effort in finding a way to combat antibiotic/antibacterial medication and prophylaxis resistance.

No less than 10% of patients whom I treat for non-complicated urinary tract infections now require hospital administered (first two doses) intravenous antibiotics, which are also showing signs of decreased effectiveness. In the last year, I have had to surgically address infections of "dermal substructures" three times, when just twelve to fifteen years ago, I could/would have written a script for one of the stronger oral antibiotics/antibacterials.

I consider myself an ardent pessimist when it comes to our combined futures. We have allowed inept politicians to horribly mismanage our future(s) and that/those of our children.

"Ancient Discoveries!" One of my favorite programs, but they only seem to run it in marathons approximately every once in a while. I saw the same show.

I was watching a program about a story on 3d printing using resins like a inkjet printer.  An a crazy idear clicked in my brainfarted head.  Why couldn't they do that with per sey a persons or some other kind of genetic material that medically build a ??homogentic?? organ or even tissue cells to create replacement parts for the human body...  Who knows that it could be a possiblity in the near furture.

 

AS FAR AS THE TOTAL destruction of the human race... You have to think that for any of us talking to each other today our genetic dna has survived all kinds of feast or famine or sicknesses an plagues, somehow in some way the human race is bound to survive whether it be good or bad.
