Self Reflection and Reflecting on Society – What’s Next?

June 24th, 2009 Neil Warner No comments

We have certainly traveled far along the road of continuing improvements, haven’t we?After pausing to think about the differences between modern and ancient times, it is really boggling to the mind, isn’t it?

The modern conveniences that are available to the masses today are incredible. Just one-hundred years ago, only a few people had automobiles.In modern times, virtually every person has a car. Some have more than one.

And think about the folks with mobility problems: Powerful stairlifts did not exist 100 years ago.  Yet today. They have mobility devices for both the home and for vans.

Today’s technology makes it possible for some folks to live a life that would not have been available to them 100 years ago.  That’s what is good.

In reality, there are many issues that need to be investigated. Gum disease is a problem which is characterized in the beginning by the need to stop bleeding gums.It’s strange to imagine that we cannot defeat gum disease problems after hundreds of decades of being plagued by it.

Modern medicine may have slipped a bit on that one.  But teeth whitening reviews abound on the Internet today. This is because at-home teeth whitening has become quite popular.  This is something that really wasn’t available one-hundred years ago – not to the masses.

One tip about that: Please do NOT ever try to lighten your teeth with lemon juice – That is an urban legend that should be completely ignored.That lemon juice is very acidic and can really harm your tooth enamel, please don’t use it on your teeth.

Medically speaking, it is getting better and better. Heart surgeries have advanced technologically. But it leaves me with a sad thought.We should turn our attention to the area that really needs improvement: Prevention.

At the same time, we really should develop our ability to work with nature instead of against. Are there natural substances that can clean our arteries and help us avoid heart surgery in the first place?

Despite that, I’m optimistic.  Now, I’m left wondering what will be available to the average person in the next fifty years.I am eagerly looking towards finding out for myself.
