Darwin’s Machines
A few more rumblings to keep my mind off what it is supposed to be on. Our good’ol dude Darwin came up with the concept of evolution of the living organisms and survival of the fittest. What occurs to me is that the same phenomenon applies to machines. They start off in a very simple manner and over time they ‘evolve’. And only the good and strong ones survive. Thing of anything we use nowadays – cars, computers etcetera. Transposing the same rule on to us humans, we will be optimistic to assume that we are evolving, meaning we are getting better – but what is ‘better humans’? As in where are we headed? That’s abut that. My mid-term tests are coming up and I start smoking a lot nowadays. Amazingly we have two mid-terms in a semester. Wonder what the word ‘mid’ means?And I have realized that I left C++ a long way back in my past and I am currently struggling go get a grip on it. I am officially now in the C - - state! The quality of one’s humor comes down drastically when his spirits are not exactly up right.

actually.. thats good humor. at least to me! :p
You fat b****rd, dont give the crap of you being in the C-- state and you talking of past as if you are some 50 odd years..haha hahahahaha (its been just a little more than a yr since we got out of college dude)
and is it the yankee style to put everything in the full...instead of "etc.", u actually spelt out "etcetera"...first time seeing some1 use the whole word instead of the shortform.
and as to your concept of human beings getting better, look at it this way - 50 yrs back, we didnt know treatment to cancer, TB "etcetera"..but now atleast we (docs to be precise)know how to combat these deadly things...so much so that we have now come up with more preventives for diseases than ever before...and down the lane, this hopefully is just going to get better and better..!!Down the lane, you may have a proper cure for all sorts of wierd diseases!! you can actually rephrase "better humans" to "healthy humans"..;-)
