We live in interesting times…

Too interesting in some ways…

It’s nothing like the old days…

Ah the good old boring days…

Back before the smart phone…

Back before the internet…

Back before television, radio and the printing press…

Back before the pulley, the lever and the invention of the wheel…

Back further still, before the written alphabet, before the domestication of animals…

Before socks…

because I’m pretty sure socks predate all those other inventions…

I’m talking about way way back…

Early man sitting gathered together round a fire at the entrance of a cave…

Some pondering the images within the flickering shadows at the back of the cave wall…

Others carefully gauging the distance at which feet can be held from the fire to give warmth…

yet not cook like mammoth steaks…

Some speculating about the meaning of the migration of the twinkling lights in the night sky…

While others knap away, hoping to make the worlds best stone axe…

in preparation for the next hunt..

And while we may think of these evenings of early humans as boring by todays standards…

They did hold great promise for the curious minded…

For so much interesting new knowledge was waiting out there for these early humans…

Knowledge that we now take for granted in our interesting times…

Though chances are…

if we run the clock of humanity forward…

we won’t need to go thousands of years into the future, but maybe just a few hundred…
