Would our lives be better if we never got technologically advanced?

"Would our lives be better if we never got technologically advanced?"

Yes it would because it would mean we didn't have to talk to ar*eholes from the electricity board who can only quote their guide book at you even if it has no relevance to the point you are trying to make.

Who looked at that first lump of sour milk and decided, "That'd be nice with a bit of tomato".

More to the point, who thought "What a yummy dessert that would make, I think I'll call it yoghurt" (It was even named after the gag reflex).

You remember Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man? Well he had these bionic legs so that he could run faster, but he didn't have a bionic heart or lungs so why didn't he collapse and burst after a forty-foot sprint?

Also if his arm was bionic but his shoulder/back wasn't how could he lift up tanks without hurting his back or tearing his arm out?

Ah-ha, but why do nuns have nipples?

Kinda painful when he has a wank too.

I presumed he used the off-hand...

"Ah-ha, but why do nuns have nipples?"

Possible answers:

1. So they have somewhere to hang their Rosary beads.

2. So they can figure out where to make the sign of the cross in the dark.

3. So you can suck them.

Sorry.

"Do we all experience qualia in the same way?"
Sorry to jump back here, but I had a t-shirt that I could have sworn was green, as did others, but then some other people insisted it was brown. None of us had been diagnosed as being colour-blind. So to answer the question, yeah, I'd say we do sometimes.
Now, why do people smile when they're happy?

karne · 21 February, 2003, 12:57:20 AM

"why do people smile when they're happy?"

Probably a reflex action. Baring teeth normally means back off I'm aggressive, so I don't know when it came to mean I'm happy.

And another thing: How do they (I'm not sure who they are, though) work out the viewing figures for telly programmes? Can they actually tell what each house is watching, or do they estimate the whole from monitoring a small cross-section of society?

Oddboy · 21 February, 2003, 09:50:14 PM

Yeah, and how do they know if it's four people or one person watching the set? Or even none because they're all in the other room but left the telly on?
What about video recorders - do they register?
