Today I Had A Very Important Thought And I'm Going to Share It With All Of You All

(a thought about mankind and his inventiveness)

The other day, I had a conversation with a friend of mine about the internet.  The internet, in his estimation, is a brilliant invention that was meant for good but too many people are using it as just another way to look at naked people.  He went on to say that many of mankind's greatest inventions started out good, but ended up being misused to help people look at naked people.  I politely disagreed.  It is evident to me that all of mankind's greatest inventions, from the very beginning, were invented primarily to help all of us look at naked people.

Think back with me...

...led to the invention of fire:

...brought about the invention of the wheel:

...and so man began to write:

*boom* photography is invented:

...that's how we got the telephone:

...we began flying shortly thereafter:

...and so some of our greatest minds came together to invent television:

...the coming of the internet:

...an insatiable appetite demands satisfaction, and so we now have smartphones:

Oh, and I almost forgot...

...sliced bread:

But please don't think me cynical or pessimistic; far from it.  My estimation of humanity is quite optimistic, actually.  The fact that we've found creative ways to use such filthy inventions for good gives me hope.  We've taken the indecent automobile and used it as a way to get to church on Sundays.  We pick up something as obscene as a telephone and we call our mothers on Mother's Day.  And, during World War II, we used one of our most lascivious inventions, the aircraft, to bomb the Nazis into unconditional surrender.  So take a bow, humanity!  You just might be okay after all!

Then again, sometimes an invention is so foul, so nefarious, that no one will ever be able to find a way to use it for anything positive...

Cheers.
