I can only remember 3 things right now:

1 Car technology, the real white headlights and car stereo with Bluetooth hands free for phones, that really make driving more safe.

2 Bluetooth headphones with touch controls, no more need to waste time looking for the right buttons to press.

3 High speed internet, allowing to watch streaming movies in real time easily like on TV, and overall lag free connection to internet in real time.

Do you remember anything else?

It sounds like you're rather young. Those are all superficial things. Some of the most significant advancements that have made an impression on me personally are:

* The completion of the Human Genome Project (allowing researchers to isolate diseases and formulate more precise cures);

* Graphene Isolation (*a huge breakthrough with limitless potential. This stuff could replace carbon fiber!*);

* New Hydroponic Food Growing and Water Purification systems (not exactly new, but now scalable to actually matter);

* Reusable Rockets (made entirely by White, American engineers, Elon!);

* 3D Printing (another huge breakthrough revolutionizing industry to make third-world slave labor obsolete)

These are the biggest ones that I can recall at the moment. They're not necessarily "sexy" or of any immediate benefit, but these are the kinds of "transparent" tech that make our lives so comfortable and are so easy to take for granted.

And yet people are more sick. Any day now it will get better. Any day now, mhm.

"potential usage". Any day now, mhm.

Yay, let's feed moar nigger.

> Reusable Rockets (made entirely by White, American engineers, Elon!);

And yet since 1972 no human has travelled beyond an altitude of 1000 km. Reminder: Moon is 385000 km away form us. Verdict: Fake and gay. Further verdict: Elon is a scammer.

Any day now this will make slave labour obsolete. Any day now. I can give 0.5 points, because this technology *is* usable.

No, none of these things will help you get to Heaven. If that's something that weighs on your thoughts, then I would strongly recommend speaking with a priest in the Tridentine or Orthodox churches. Don't waste your time with protestant "pastors" selling pop psychology out of a fortune cookie. It sounds like you need to get right with yourself and God before really weighing the world around you. *Dominus vobiscum!*

I think you need a longer and more substantive conversation than you can find here. Assuming you're male, then you should know that the nature of man is to work and make things. It's what we do, and I think you've expressed some of that yourself. But again, you need to have a more substantive conversation with someone older and wiser who can understand your current situation and guide you better.

But, in short, I can assure you that sitting "like niggers under a tree waiting for death after hunting and building a mud hut" will NOT bring you peace or make you feel fulfilled, LOL. Not even sitting in your room watching TV or playing games will do that. Men are meant to get out into the world and solve problems. It really does sound like you spend too much time in introspective thought.

Get out there and find a problem to solve.

Thanks for the info. I don't follow big science. But I do remember now that 3D printing is helping a lot.
