Friday's Class

Much of Friday's class was centered around crappy possible futures and human greed.  Some possible outcomes to look forward to are an overcrowded earth where we eat dead people and are made to believe its soy, or we can live an awesome life, die at thirty, and pray that we are reincarnated. (good luck with that)  Then we learned how because of human instincts and the population of the world, there is no hope for a communal, "common good" sense of living and we are all doomed to a life of selfish greed in which we try and steel each others bunnies or land.  However there is a silver lining in all of this, maybe if we're lucky we'll all get to live out our lives before our kids start spoon feeding us processed "other white meat" or we fly into the air like Cirque du Soleil and spontaneously combust when we hit the ceiling.

Creepy Technology

Anyone who has seen a Sci Fi movie or even searched the web for a little bit has come across some new technology that they find creepy or scary.  The primary reason for this is a lack of understanding or unfamiliarity with the item.  People probably once thought that to be able to instantly talk to someone on the other side of the world was creepy, or to put something inside someone's heart to keep them alive was some kind of witchcraft.  Luckily if you find something too creepy we live in a free country and you can just choose not to use it.

First Blog

Hello my name is Brian Gerney, I am a student at Dickinson College in Carlise, PA.  This blog is part of my first year seminar course and is mandatory.  Although this is not my choosing I'll try and make this as interesting as possible.  Hopefully something eventful will happen on campus, like the Kid Cudi concert, and I will have something to write about.

Have a great day.   BG
