This is especially for people who've been around to see the change. I'm young, and it seems that time has brought on some unpleasant change, but I haven't been around to actually watch it happen. Has technology become more of a burden than an aid? Are the ways we do things now better or worse than how they were done in the past? This is a very general question about society. Answer as you interpret it.
Do you think the world in general has went downhill since older times?
I believe so, however I have not been around to view the said changes. Personally I think todays dependence on technology is disgusting, I hate the fact that I feel lost without a computer, or that no one writes a letter anymore. Everyone has become a lot more self obsessed over the past few decades. There is no longer a help the community sort of feel, it's every man for himself and no one could care less if joe blow across the street is suffering.
I don't think that todays society really has a purpose, we're not fighting forwomen's rights, combating racism, or trying to stop the war..We're just going through the motions of everyday life for no reason what so ever.
Makes me think of the song %26quot;I wish i were a punk rocker%26quot;.
'Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and when radio was king,
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs,
And playing games meant kick around
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair'
Do you think the world in general has went downhill since older times?
Not a bit.
You're not actually serious, are you?
EDIT: More tolerance towards minority groups, a much higher life-expectancy, better health care, underprivileged groups (the poor, the old, etc) are cared for a lot better than previously.
If by %26quot;older times%26quot; you mean a century or more ago, than you really, really, really can not be serious. People nowadays are not nearly as violent, oppressed by stronger groups or oppressive towards weaker groups as they were a century or more ago.
I'll just assume that you made this as a joke.
Not at all
As a youth we seemed to have respect for other ppl that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I'm a school bus driver and also use to ride as a child.
Do I think the world has GONE downhill? Yes, especially because nobody knows how to use proper grammar anymore.
Technology has become better but people are less social to their neighbours these days as they have cellphones and the internet.
So in some ways things are better but in other ways they are not.
Myself I would prefer to live in the older times but if I could go back then I would like to take the medical know-how and technology back with me in case I got sick or needed to be treated for an ailment or something.
Hell nooo. I wouldn't wanna be a susie home-maker, pushing out babies and boosting my cheating husbands confidence constantly. How can you actually consider technology a burden, look at all the medical technology that saves lives EVERYDAY! Life is better, easy as that.
Answer mine?

What were the changes in japan after the second world war?
They didn't kill as many people.
What were the changes in japan after the second world war?
they became more democratic, they became a economic superpower cause they adapted western technology to their society.
Despite becoming more westernized they mostly kept their cultural values.
I mean I love Japanese things(anime, manga, the language, martial arts...)

Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
I am going into university from high school soon, and I am thinking of what field I should go into. I am strong in physics, math, chemistry, and information technology.
My teachers had said that the world had changed over the past decade, many jobs and careers that existed are gone, and many new careers are introduced because of many new technologies. (Take computer programmers and webpage designers for example)
Some people say that the field of economics has potential in the future. Maybe a career in electrical engineering, or something in buisness. What courses should i take if i want to be self-employed.
So confused... any advice?
Going into university, I would like to know what career fields have most potencial in the next 5 to 10 years?
i would pick any engineering field as guaranteed to still be in demand.
my second choice would be physics.
i would only do a biz degree if you were doing a double major, because it seems like lots and lots of people thinkg a biz degree is the way to big money. I think the field will be overcrowded.

if you want to be self-employed, take buisness classes. buisness is the most versatile. but honestly, do something you have a passion for. something you want to learn about. college is not solely to land a job. it is to gain knowledge. the job is what you must apply that knowledge to.
Whatever it is you are passionate about, if you want a fulfilling life. If you want to be rich, anything regarding finance. If you want it all, think about the travel industry. When the majority of baby boomers retire in the next 5 - 10 years there will be a lot of people with time and money. Think about it, if you had time and money what would you do more of???
In the United States, the top ten jobs for college graduates, in terms of growth are:
1. Network systems and data communications analysts
2. Physician assistants
3. Computer software engineers, applications
4. Physical therapist assistants
5. Dental hygienists
6. Computer software engineers, systems software
7. Network and computer systems administrators
8. Database administrators
9. Physical therapists
10. Forensic science technicians
This is per 2014 forecasts of United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If you want to be self employed, skip school. No really. University costs too much and as a self employed person, you won't see any return from having a degree. You can teach yourself the basics of running a business by reading free information online and book in the library. More confusing is what kind of business should I start, but that's an entire new question.
More importantly, try to be happy. Follow your inner-voice into whatever may interest you the most.new hair styles i near a way to run mac within window

What is your opinion on transhumanism? How will these efforts change the world?
Transhumanism -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumani鈥?/a> (in case people are unfamiliar)
From a religious/spiritual perspective what do you think the consequences of 'playing God' would be?
Do you think any transhumanist practices will succeed? will benefit man kind? will greatly enhance our lifespans?
What do you think the consequences would be if this technology fell in the wrong hands?
Do you think transhumanist programs, eugenics, cloning etc. pose a threat to:
1) Humanity/Human nature
2) The value of 'real' human life
3) Global stability
4) Resource scarcity
5) Scientific mishaps (example: Frankenstein like creatures?)
Overall, what are your thoughts on this? There doesn't seem to be any other questions on transhumanism in Yahoo answers so I'm hoping to get as many responses as possible.
What is your opinion on transhumanism? How will these efforts change the world?
One of the most astounding pictures I have ever seen. The challange that I see is that somebody is deciding what is 'deficit' and what is 'enhancement'. In a perfect world that would be clear.... in the world we live in however...
What is your opinion on transhumanism? How will these efforts change the world?
Without altering mankind's aggressive behaviiors anything transhumanist do will be %26quot;futile.%26quot; Any mutation of this species to a supposedly BETTER one is a waste of time SIMPLY because no one can alter our environment and everything it affects in the human condition........
Transhumanism is acceptable by almost all religions in the world provided that it is for saving life and the intention is good. There is no such thing as playing God. Our ability to create things are from God. It is Him who teach us everything we know.
I do believe transhumanist will succeed over times and it will benefit all of us. If such technologies being used for good deed, it will be good for all human kind. If it fall into the wrong hand then it will be disaster. We cannot blame the technology, it is us should be blame for the wrong doing.
I really think the new method will benefit all of us in the future. It will enhance and prolong our lifespans at the same time overcome some problems which is impossible before.

If you had just one idea that could change the world, what it would it be?
The answers can be anything, from laws to politics to religion to morals to technology to geography to weather.
For me, I think it'd be awesome if commercial airlines eventually turned to solar powered. Though fuel would require for takeoff, landing, and night flights, during the day, the world could potentially save thousands of dollars and energy if jets simply became powered through the sun's light.
This is just me though. What about you? What is one idea that could potentially change the world and its perspective?
If you had just one idea that could change the world, what it would it be?
Put Al Gore on an iceberg at the equator.
If you had just one idea that could change the world, what it would it be?
everyone rides their bikes everywhere, so no one wastes energy that much and causing global warming. plus it would be good excerzise...
I know it may sound extreme, but everyone who wants to have a child, is going to have a child, or has a child should be tested for emotional stability and be required to take some kind of parenting class.
Another idea would be to have a agency that would be responsible for tracking each child born, every six months or so. They would have to actually see or speak with the child, and the parents would be investigated and penalized if this didn't happen. We have to renew our car registration,and pay our taxes each year, why not make sure people are taking care of their children?
It breaks my heart all of the things that happen to innocent children, often by the ones who are supposed to be taking care of them. There must be some way to keep up with small children, to keep them safe.

Do you believe that caravachaut vart is an exploitation to women all over the world?
How come men don't keep a fast to wish their wives a happy long life also?
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. I just think that people have to change their backward way of thinking living in a society where science and technology have greatly advanced. Our thinking still remains to be %26quot;outdated%26quot; and backwards even to this day. It's really sad.
Do you believe that caravachaut vart is an exploitation to women all over the world?
It's actually %26quot;Karwa Chauth%26quot; and I have no idea as of why men don't honor a similar fast for their wives. If women practice this fast in other countries, I don't think they do it and know anything about %26quot;exploitation%26quot;. It is a custom, as simple as that.
Do you believe that caravachaut vart is an exploitation to women all over the world?
Boo hoo. In India feminist propaganda soap operas are on TV every day, and you have anti-male laws that would make Torquemada blush.
Cause my Mom says all men are selfish, they think of themselvs 1st, others later.
Are you going to cry my a river?
Ofcorse not...its nt at all ny kinda exploitation...infact women all over india wait for dis day n celebrate it wid full enthusiasm as oder fetivals in india..n 4 dose women who thinks its an xplotation 4 them shudnt fast as if its not compulsion 4'em
n its not d question of science n tech...its like how much we are into our religion n how much we love it..
ITS NOT AT ALL SAD...
n its karvachauth...
I would like to stop that to save my Rs.5000/=PA ,but want to continue to get social happiness.
Further what is the wrong in considering your husband as God for 1 day?Otherwise he remains Devi Dass for 364 days!

How is the Internet changing reading habits?
The Internet has changed the way we live, communicate, learn about the world and search for info. With IM and emails now replacing phonecalls and birthday cards, and online media growing in popularity over newspapers as a news source, will books be the next area that online technology changes? Will e-books, read from a PC or laptop, ever replace the good old paperpack or hardcover?
How is the Internet changing reading habits?
book and online articles are both good sources of information, both of these sources have their own strength and weakness
i doubt computers can truely replace books, (but they can grow into our lifestyle)
everything on the internet is all about flashy colors and sound, so trying to read a book online is simply impossible
books on the otherhand, are old since they need to go through a publisher, so if you are trying to get good info for a research paper, (where you need info thats no more then 5 year old) then your choices are limited if your using books.
have you tried reading a book online? you will pass out before you get to page 10 (i cant even read my own essay online)
How is the Internet changing reading habits?
i believe that one day books will be a thing of the past. sites such as wikipedia are very valuable in that they give updated and instant information. the old fashioned encyclopedia simply can not compete.
Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, twain and many others classic authors and literature will always stand the test of time. their content and style will never be matched and will always be enjoyable informed reading.
what will be most effected obviously are book sales and the price of used classic hardcovers. prices will skyrocket as book collectors scramble to snatch up the rare gems that were written on paper by candlelight. the Internet is slowly forcing the extinction an educators favorite and most important tool.......the book.
the Internet is here to stay .
it has made easier to communicate download any file send greetings chat with friends read the news search for info and enchanced our daily lives.good luck!!!
I still read Robert Ludlum paperbacks (and more) and take in alot of Wikipedia articles everyday.
Have to live a balanced reading life I suppose.
