One thing that really stumps me is the fact that satellites run all the internet, gps, and cell phones. How is it possible to handle that much information for so many different devices while every phone has different contacts and applications. Also, I would love to understand how these new smart phones work with simply sliding your finger over the face of it and going to all these applications. This would be beyond magic to those in the 30's let alone going back centuries. We can see how easy it must have been to convince humans that the aliens are gods.Tesla, in my opinion, was not human but a being that came here to share the brilliant technology of those more advanced by thousands of years. Now we have the age of the cell phone, smart phones, i-Pods and so on. When I look around and see these people from age 9-60 living their lives looking down at a screen. To me, it looks just like hypnosis, like they are in a trance starring at the screen. They cannot live without the technology! Try to take the smart phone away from a 12 to 40 year old and they act like you you are trying to kill them. Thankfully, I am an observer and not a participant in this mind altering technology. From the inside looking out, it is a very scary thing. People cannot even drive without texting! I could see if they were employed by a high level company or the military, but who NEEDS all this tech. when they have a regular job and friends, whether they are in a cubicle or the janitor, they all seem to use this tech. like their lives revolved around it. Sad thing is, their lives DO revolve around it. Kick off the electricity and kill the smart phones for a day and there would probably riot. These people will react this way because when the tech. is turned off, they "wake up" from the trance and see only the desperation to get it back. I have seen people cry literally because if you look, you can actually see these people waking up from the trance, and it is obvious they cannot take it. How many times have we all heard someone say "I need my smart phone, my ENTIRE LIFE is on that phone"? Instant panic attack! A sad way to live as it gives great control to those who run these technologies and they know it!

joshua

i agree. these words come to mind-mind numbing, hypnosis, conditioning......etc.

have you ever read 'in the abscence of the sacred'?

i don't know if tesla was non human but i believe sitchen's scenario that the being that came to earth was perceived as 'god'-since he had so much knowledge and 'magic'.

i do not own a microwave, cell phone, ipad or any other of those techy do dads.

i like to talk on the phone-i like to write letters-i like to read real books with paper pages...life goes by too fast already without facilitating it.
love life and life will love you back.

I know a three year old who can navigate her daddy's ipad like a pro! She whips her finger across the screen like she was born doing it! Incredible!

I love all the techie gadgets! I communicate with my family and friends mostly by email. I also pay all of our bills online too. I don't like talking on the phone though, takes up too much time.
Our life is determined by the choices we make!

Oh, Susi, you're no luddite. Let us say that in some ways you are a "traditionalist". That sounds much better doesn't it? Ha!

Living in the boonies, growing our own food organically, going back to the land, and other such things, someone once accused us of being luddites.

"Heavens no," I replied. "If we lived as our Cherokee ancestors did we'd be living in a hut made of sticks and mud with a dirt floor, using stone age utensils, and I'd be stumbling around in the creek grabbing crayfish for dinner."

I like toilet paper.

I'm with you, reject some of these new fangled things that just make one's life more complicated while embracing those that improve one's quality of living. Like indoor bathrooms thank you.

Yes, modern outdoor outhouses with a Sears & Robuck catalogue were an improvement over squatting in the snow and wiping with poison ivy
but...

On a trip to our homeland in the Great Smokey Mountains a ten year old little girl trotted out to the outhouse. Shortly we heard her scream. We ran out to see what was wrong and a bear had tried to join her in her efforts. Unfortunately it was not a two-seater. This disproved the saying that bears s--- in the woods. They prefer to use an outhouse. Obviously they don't want to wipe with poison ivy either just like those charmin commercials have been trying to tell us. She was okay. Being a polite child she figured that the bear had a more desperate need and deferred to him.

Now back to modern advances- In all my years I have yet to find a bear in our bathroom.

This Injun may be crazy but him not stupid.

hehe....while not a ferocious bear, i had a similar experience.

i was 4 or 5 and we lived in a big stone house with an outhouse out back. it was winter and the trip to the outhouse was slick with ice. my mom would throw the ashes on that spot.

i was sitting there going about my business when the wind flew the door open and standing on its' hind legs right outside the door was the biggest (in a kids' mind) groundhog i ever saw.

it scared me and i ran, panties around ankles back to the house but slipped and fell and ended up with ashes embedded in my knees.

the day we got indoor plumbing i was so relieved.
love life and life will love you back.

We have lots of whistle pigs here in Mole Hollow, bless their chubby little souls. We've always enjoyed their antics but this year one of them wiped out our squash plants and dug up a bunch of other vegies. We plantr more than enough and don't mind sharing with our critter friends but this year the deer and others wrteaked havoc. We share with them, they should at least leave some for us.

Susi- A video of your little escapade would be hilarious. (With the naughty parts blocked out of course.) Not to mention your parents would have had endless fun embarrassing you with it. Yes, there's something to be said for not having had that technology.
