When you see that other civilizations once existed on other planets and are now extinct it makes me wonder if we, as the human race, will become extinct one day.

> > *I think the technology craze has changed us but it is up to the individual to decide what he or she wants in life, what happiness is and each person has his/her idea of what quality is. As for freedom, I guess I compare living in this country to living in places where there is war and atrocities and therefore this seems freer to me.
