Where are we headed

Had gone home for sometime, so no interaction with the net for a long long time.

I was just pondering, I usually get time to ponder a lot when I'm on my way home as more often than not i travel alone.
Don't you think we've over complicated our lives. Look at the cave-man, all he did was eat sleep and procreate, we are doing the same but like someone said we are just pretending we are doing more.
We are going round in circles. Alvin Toffler said that all our efforts in technology are aimed towards making more of our time free, therefore, he continued, that by the 21st century we'll have so much free time we wouldn't know what to do with it. So? Where does the present 21st century population ever more dying of hypertension and stress fit into that picture. So while half of the people are hell busy powering the great technology machinery of mankind, another major chunk doesn't have the means to enjoy the fruits of their results. Someone somewhere has got the scheming of the world horribly wrong.
Sorry for the morbid look at life ...

Politicians can't bear to see things get divided
The U.S. case against Microsoft led Judge Jackson to rule in 2000 that Microsoft should be broken into two companies as punishment for its monopolistic practices. But a year later, with the Clinton-era Justice Department having given way to the Bush administration, the government decided not to seek the breakup. The case was settled in 2002.
