Science fiction writer Ben Bova wrote:
The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

iPad

Apple announces a tablet called the iPad

The great minds over at Apple are already working on the next item that is sure to be a huge hit for many Americans........the iJob.
A device that will have apps designed for searching, applying, and locating jobs.
Don't like what the iJob found for you? Turn the device sideways or upside down and the iJob will give you the location of the nearest unemployment office, shelter or food bank.
Plus 10 hours of battery life so you can search all day or light your tent up for hours without recharging.

I'm sorry, but don't we already have enough gadgets? Now a tablet !!
Folks will need a gadget, just to keep track of their gadgets.
