Grander Human Technology But Natively Restricted

August 20, 2008

We all have these unique and weird personal taste of our favorite breakfast meal, lunch express food, our own sober taste of meal that is. Some of us prefer spicy delicacies, others carve for juicy and sweet ones. Most of us hunger for our own personal taste at a mouthful level when it comes to personal food taste.

I was in in my elementary school, at 6th grade hearing the news that a failing satellite is currently falling and could probably fall into our area. I was so alarmed and confused then, thinking how could a man-made high-tech space wagon successfully launched away from earth’s gravitational force and ejected itself into earth’s atmosphere and suddenly failed to carefully hover down to earth’s human soil? And so, I skipped out that school day and immediately went back home without telling my teacher back then.

Simply speaking, technology had brought us far from humans have ever imagined. We have touched down our very own satellite which we called moon, we have explored planet Mars and we have even gone farther than Pluto and discovered more planets besides from the named 9 planets of our own solar system. Human technology had jumped us ahead of our time and decades, in a grander scale that is.

Yes, technology had done this, did that, been there, covered that, and um dit dat dot com. Plaks! What about our very own and little-minding personal grunchy taste like our favorite breakfast meals or lunch foods. When could our current technology bring our hunger to a higher level of satisfaction and convenience, than of eating and having a taste of our favorite food?

Have you imagined a robot cooking our favorite sinigang na bangus and serving them in front of us. Duh? Noticed the technology restrictions there? What about a the green liquid medicine to be injected to our skin just to learn this Math Calculas, or was it Differential Calculus? Ok, ok that was far and beyond. To make it simpler, technology could be grander on its technical level but could also be naive on its nature restrictions as well.

Carefully watch this video of a robot solving a rubix cube in less than a minute or so and noticed its technology restrictions hidden by its naive nature.

He is so cool, a robot solving rubix cube! That is so great.

But then again, noticed the naive restrictions?

The robot does not have the ability to prepare and cook my sinigang na bangus or even fry my daing and serve it hot for me, right? This relates us back to a grander technology where naive restrictions always exists.

You could see energy being burned but not regenerated instantly. A fuel being consumed and converted but the fuel is not being regenerated back again to its previous form. We know space shuttles bringing humans and astronauts outside our earth’s atmosphere but these space shuttles could not carry and bring earth’s gravity with them. Humans can spend years outside earth but humans could not be born and delivered outside our very own planet earth. What about the most advanced building only to be stumbled down by nature’s law?

Ofcourse, technology always changes based on human needs at grander scale but they are always naive and restricted by nature. But then again, technology at its best always brings with them a naive restrictions hidden behind its tails.
