We've Made It So Far

Rafe sent me this video recently. It's so incredible when you sit back and look at the big picture of how we evolve as a society. How far we've come at this point. After this video the thought that kept running through my mind, or question rather, is this: Are we better off with all of the modern tools or with simplicity? It's noted in the video that we know today so much more than even shakespeare. Yet, even today we study his works in literature and revel in the insights. On another note though, if we are this evolved and truly can process the multitudes of information in our everyday lives that is thrown at us then what exactly is ignorance? Even the most ignorant beings are still intelligent in a sense....compared to the past. So ignorance is relevant to the surrounding circumstances. Anyhow, watch the video. It's interesting to say the least and will give you something to ponder.
