On a semi-regular basis my dad will be reading something out of the paper about some technological advance that he finds mindblowing, expecting a similar reaction, but to me it hardly even registers. In my lifetime, scientific and technological advance has been so fast paced, it seems there is nothing left that could surprise me.
I've watched footage of people gathered round TV sets absolutely enthralled when man landed on the moon for the first time and it struck me that the I cannot think of a single thing in my life that has had that kind of impact.
*~*~*~*
So my question... is there anything left that could amaze you, or are we the product of a generation which will never truly experience the joy of breakthroughs in innovation and scientific discovery?
