Grander Human Technology But Natively Restricted
August 20, 2008 · Comments
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?
