Play god and find out. Watch what the future holds. Man always thinks he's improving things, how long did we survive without any of this stuff(technological advancements). Cycles and patterns are the ebbs and flows of life, man does not dictate to them, they dictate to man. The more man learns, the more he should realize how much he really does not know. Nature has it's own will, the more you bend its will, there will be major consequences that will reverberate throughout modern society. The next solution will be, let's meld man and machine, which much closer than what people realize. You might not believe me now but once again, watch what the future holds. For technology to save us, we must become one with technology, this will be the powers to be new catch phrase. I wonder why if man died, nature would continue on living, shouldn't we therefore learn how to live with and take care of nature instead of manipulating it and trying to control it.
