Rep Power: 0 | |  Human Species to Split in Two
Science has finally found out the future of microsoft windows users! Quote:
Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry of the London School of Economics expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge.
The human race would peak in the year 3000, he said - before a decline due to dependence on technology...
The descendants of the genetic upper class (unix/linux) would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures (microsoft users)...........
| in windows everything point and click, hence reliance on technology to do all the work for you: demoted evolution... Linux allows you to problem solve and trouble shoot, hence evolution!!!

Erm, depends on how you use any computer. Though, the norm is the norm...
If you don't do anything more than email, chat, and online with your computer, regardless of the OS, you'll be a nitwit as far as computers are concerned.
Fuck technology ;-)

With people moving around so much and local populations mixing with each other it is unlikely that any two sets of DNA will go unmerged for long.
Anyone read Time Machine, where the surviving humans bread themselves into castes, being the working class(slaves) and the thinking class(masters)?

| The potential exists for universal gene sharing, but I believe natural predjudice will keep some separate. Attractive people will seek attractive partners, and as ivf/embyo selection become more common those with money will seek to improve their family line. The greater the difference between the improved humans and the general pool, the less likely they are to mix.

The change will be too gradual though. Plus even if it does happen, there's always wierdo's. Thats why stuff like midget porn is so popular......... not that I'd know. |

Heh, I've mastered Linux. When I get stuck I just restart the PC, and don't repeat what got me stuck.
