Modern Times

Is it not a little bit strange, that in modern time unschooled yokels know more about the world than the greatest thinkers and scholars of former days? 2200 years ago only Eratosthenes and a few dozen of his colleagues at the Library know the circumference of the earth. Now just about any ten year old kid knows the circumference of the earth to within one percent.

Any ten year old knows how wounds become infected so they know to wash the wound and put a bandage on it. My seven year old grandchildren have known how to push a mouse and type in text on a computer since they were three and a half. And my grandson can program a VCR and a Comcast channel box. And better than his Dad.

Here is a You Tube presentation showing how small we moderns have become:

We are so small that we know how small we are.

How small we moderns have become. Sure. Right. Yeah.
