The goal for many amputees is no longer to reach a 'natural' level of ability but to exceed it using whatever cutting-edge technology is available. As this new generation sees it our tools are evolving faster than the human body so why obey the limits of mere nature?
I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age my generation find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
Lucky individuals in each generation find technology appropriate to their needs.
I think eventually I want to become a teacher like my father wanted to be and hopefully positively influence the next generation.
As a teacher as a propagandist Mr. Shaw is no good at all even in his own generation. But as a personality he is immortal.
People repeat behaviour that leads to flooding their brains with pleasurable chemicals. The short-term reward loop acts over hours to years and the long-term reproductive success loop over generations.
I realized then that the generations may change but the strength of our nation remains solid.
As a result of Title IX and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had women's sports have arrived.
It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.
Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.
I would argue that we have a generation of young people particularly minorities who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.
Once the fabric of a just society is undone it takes generations to weave it back together.
A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.
I love the live performances and Las Vegas. I also like making films that are being discovered by another generation. Having been a teen idol of the '60s is great because you realize you left your generation with a smile and good memories.
A successful society is characterized by a rising living standard for its population increasing investment in factories and basic infrastructure and the generation of additional surplus which is invested in generating new discoveries in science and technology.
What business has science and capitalism got bringing all these new inventions into the works before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
