Ok, it's time to straighten out a few things. Someone recently mentioned to us that Evolution is not yet proven, and the statement they used was "why do the call it the theory of evolution?" We hear that a lot, and we at The Crazy think it's time to set things straight. For example the word "theory" being used to describe something. We wonder... when someone studies music theory at a university, does the word theory mean that music isn't proven yet? Are musicians someday going to find the perfect chord that proves the muse exists? Any school boy can tell you the evolution is proven. And there are many recent examples of evolutionary changes taking place. For example in the early nineteenth century in Britain , the industrial age began, smoke and soot began to cover everything in sight. There were white moths that thrived in that area (peppered moths) that began to suffer as they were devoured by birds and bats and other insects. Why? Because they stood out against the soot covered trees and foliage and streets. After a short span of time the white moth began to disappear, being replaced by black ones. Scientists were not surprised to find that the black moths were in fact the same peppered moth, nature had just selected the darker ones for survival as they could more easily blend into the background. Since the industrial age has ended in Britain, and the skies and trees and rooftops have become clean again, can you guess what has happened? That's right, the white moth has begun to thrive once again. This is evolution and natural selection at it's most basic form. Ask yourself a few questions and you will see evolution is changing everything around you. For example did you know that peoples fingers are longer than they used to be? It's true. As we have evolved our hands have become more dextrous,  we have manufactured many items and designed them for ease of use. And we have been using many of them (handtools for example) for thousands of years. The typewriter on the other hand has only been around since about 1860 (the first patent of a practical typewriter) what will happen to our hands after a thousand years of using keypads and keyboards. Or will we invent something (as Dr Kurtzwieller has done) to free our hands and simply use our voices to enter key commands. Will evolution speed up as we use computers to enhance our abilities? One of the things we at The Crazy worry about are the ramifications of instant access to knowledge. We rely on the internet more and more for our information. Bookstores are closing across the country. What happens if the Ipods and Computers (and by that process the internet itself) go dead?  What if a massive EMP were to wipe out all electronics on earth. Would we still maintain civilization as we know it? What changes would have to take place? Something to ponder as you go about your day. Stop and think once in a while, if you were trying to do the same task you are now, but it was a thousand years ago, could it be done. Typing this blog for example. If we were trying to mass produce this information a thousand years ago, we would have to rewrite it again, and again, and again. Or hire scribes to do so. It wasn't until the fifteenth century that typesetting was invented. Although some civilizations did learn to carve woodblocks to use as a primitive type setter. It's strange to think that the information we have put on this page could potentially reach millions of people. When Martin Luther produced his 95 Thesis in 1518 he was capable of reproducing thousands of copies, potentially reaching clearly less people, and look what he accomplished. (Contrary to what you may have read, Martin Luther probably didn't post on the church door.) We are not comparing ourselves to Martin Luther. Just making a point.  That's about it, something for you to think about, ciao for now.
