A new study shows that cell phones may decrease sperm quality. Read about it here.
It's pretty crazy. I was thinking about a theory the other day. Get this: the bigger and better everything gets, the more everything gets messed up.
For instance, civilization is not good for the environment in general. Food has to be produced in mass quantities, there are a lot of people in a small space, and transportation and other things are developed that are very taxing on the environment and the resources.
Email has made things a lot easier. Like attaching a file is easy and good! But...things can be misstated, there's spam, phishing, identity theft, and a lot of used time in front of computer screens.
What about roads? Sure, it's nice to travel on them, when they are not under construction or busy and backed up. What about all the accidents and frustrations? I mean, overall roads make life easier. But they use resources, space, and end up taking more time and energy than is sometimes necessary.
What about computers? Carpel tunnel anyone? Strained eyes? Wasted time? Phone calls to help centers where you talk to someone who is not competent or understandable?
Obviously we all enjoy the things we take for granted sometimes. But, eventually it is going to end. And we will ever stop improving because we will think about the consequences and they will be too great? I mean, people used to survive without cell phones. People also used to have real relationships, face to face, more time, and a lot less stress.
It's interesting to think about anyway.
