An odd thinking - about the destination of word in future
When I read the statement "Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important." I start considering the importance of book which is the carrier of human's minds by words. There are many other carriers such as voice and video which can be much easier processed and saved than ever before. The position of word in human society reflects the importance of word in today's world. However, we see that much less people do handwriting these days. Maybe making signature of their name on checks will be the only scenario which we use pen rather than keyboard to write characters. And maybe soon educator finds that teaching by graphics rather than words is more efficient, then books will be deserted while electronic screen will take position of it. Maybe that is why we see so many drawing on the wall of cave which is left by our ancestors (It is thought that human once had a great civilization but completely destroyed one day, and current civilization is just a new circle).
Certainty, Human and Universe
"What most human beings really want to attain is not knowledge, but certainty."
Yes, life, itself is some thing different from other part of the universe. Universe always attempts to tear things apart and make this world uniform, which lives are trying to make this world more regular. Regular is some kind of certainty while uniform is some sort of chaos that is unpredictable.
The Meaning of Life
Everyone lives in this world? But no one is sure about why he is here, what the goal of his life, and what the goal for the human beings. We are just standing here, eat, work and sleep... study, work, and die... Some one says that we are to keep spreading of our genes after the bloom of gene-centered view of evolution. Some one says we live to enjoy the benefits of life.
