Watch out: technological advances do not mean we've evolved intellectually. For all you know, we may only have a handful of brilliant men and women creating new tools and machines to make the rest of us live more pleasant lives: in fact, it's always been this way. Only a few people ever made a real difference: the rest of us are simply along for the ride, though we should always strive to better the pool if only to increase the likelyhood that more geniuses come along to, again, make our lives easier. ;-)
