Is the computer and internet actually making us dumber than previous generations?

Computers are great for getting fast and easy information. But in reality, if someone was stranded in some place for a vacation some how like the rain forest. They would FOR SURE die with no smarts for survival. Its almost as if computers are making our natural intelligence lower, and people dont have near as much vocabulary skills as before. Most people use the sames words everyday including me :(

In The Wild: What about diseases?

So, I’ve recently been thinking a bit about those tribes of people who you often see living in the wilderness of say, Africa, or in some rain forest secluded from civilization. Do they get diseases? Are they often life-threatening? Have the people grown a tolerance to the diseases, like animals, I guess? If I were to go there and live with them, would the symptoms of a disease specific to that general area be more severe in the case of my catching one? If they were to come here and catch a common cold, would the symptoms be life-threatening for them?

What about those people who wish to live in the wilderness, given they have the survival skills required so that they can live? How would they be able to avoid diseases? Would they just develop a tolerance to any disease around there? Is that possible? Do you think they could survive? I know there are TV shows about living in the wilderness. I haven’t watched many, yet, though and I probably should to get more of a feel for it. Maybe I should go camping.

I’ve always wanted to kind of escape society. The African Wilderness has always attracted me, or the wilderness in general. I really like the idea of a very natural life. I think we, in this society, are overly materialistic and so out of touch with our selves as humans; as animals. I just want to experience it, you know? But there are so many things that really prevent us from doing it. Like diseases. We’d probably die if we got one out there, right?

Maybe I should be one of those African Safari people who study the biodiversity/ecosystem of the wilderness and stuff, so I can get in touch with nature. God, I don’t know what I want to do.

But yeah, back to the question. What about diseases?

Lost my 5 month old kitten, how to find her?

My 5 month old kitten got out of the house sometime Tuesday evening. I took off Weds to look for her. I searched an area about 1 square mile. Placed flyers in mailboxes and on cars. Placed a flier in the local supermarket that has her picture, also in the local gas station. I live in Ohio and right now the temperature has a high of 80 degrees and we had a brief period of rain last night. The topography is a creek valley so there are some hills and some light woods.

I searched the neighborhoold top to bottom and did my best in the woods, but there is a thick brush. I placed some of her items out on the patio for her to recognize. I’m worried that since she is only 5 months she doesn’t have a strong sense of direction or survival skills. She is still clawed however. I’ve checked with the SPCA and she isn’t there, I also put an ad on craigslist. I’m doing everything, but no luck.

Do you think she can survive? Do you think she has the right skills to find her way home? What could I do to do a better job at finding her.

She always tries to get out, and when she does she stays close by.

Gliese 710 in 1.5 million years will make comets rain down into the solar system?

When this happens does it mean that life would be killed off because of impacts? Or is there a chance that some form of life could still survive
