What Could Be the Next Big Invention for Mankind?

[Original Blog written 13 years ago] - What Could Be the Next Big Invention for Mankind?

Originally imagined during a random sleepless night thought.

We often talk about the greatest inventions in human history — fire, the wheel, electricity, the internet, smartphones, artificial intelligence. Every generation believes it is living in the peak of innovation, until something arrives that completely changes how humans live.

But sometimes I wonder:

FORGET ME NOT

                    There's no doubt that memory is one of our greatest gifts. But why is it that some days we can't even remember our best friend's name ? Why do some people have a memory for numbers, while others never forget faces and names? How come some students fail exams even though they're very intelligent?

    Scientists are getting closer to finding the answers to these questions. They believe memory is a series of electromagnetic fields which are closely linked to one another . The min

Two major conflicts are currently taking place. One is the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, ant the other is the conflict between Israel with the U.S and Iran. The latter conflict has caused serious problems for the world. One of the most serious problems is the soaring crude oil prices. Crude oil has risen by about 50% compared to before the conflict because Iran declared that they blockaded a Strait of Hormuz,  through which many oil tankers pass.  The soaring crude oil prices are causing

Shawal six days

 

Nabi Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, " He who fasts in Ramadan and follows that by six days of Shawal, he is as if fasts the whole year". In Islam, if you do one good thing, you will be rewarded tenfold. Therefore, Ramadan is thirty days multiplied by ten, which makes three hundred days.

So, if you add the six days (of course, multiplied by ten), they make sixty days added to three hundred days. The total is 360 days. It is exactly one year. For more information about

Changing Fashion

                         Fashion is fun, but fashion is also an important part of people's lives. People often use fashion to say something about how they think or feel about life. How a person dresses often defines who the person is.

            Music changed fashion in the 60s more than any other decade. In the early 60s, people dressed in trendy clothes. Men used to wear short-sleeved shirts and loose trousers. Women used to wear A-line dresses. With the Beatles came collarless jackets and tig

Why do women suffer during childbirth?

Childbirth is both joyful and painful for women. It is not uncommon for women to die because of it. Only humans experience such difficulty during childbirth. Why? It is because humans walk on two legs and  our brains have evolved. The human pelvis became smaller to adapt to bipedal walking,  and the baby 's skull became larger to accommodate brain groeth. As you can see, there is only a tiny gap between the baby's head and the birth canal. This is why women suffer during childbirth. Humans evolv

The baker

 

There was a baker who used to sell bread. A basket was full of hot bread for the poor. The poor used to stand in line and take their share from the baker. Another baker was very angry about this and made a big fuss, going so far as to sue his neighbor in court, claiming that the neighbor's action had caused most of his customers to switch to him.
The judge told him that he is free to do with his bread. Sell them or give them for free. His complaint was dismissed, and he thought of a plan to se

Our journey together is too short

(Re post)

 

As humans, If we did follow what kind of concepts this is. This story teaches a valuable lesson for us.

 

A young lady sat on a bus. At the next stop, an old lady got on the same bus and sat next to the young lady. She spoke loudly and looked grumpy. She squeezed the seat with her big sized bags. The person, who sat on the other side of the young lady, got upset and asked, "I can guess that you feel much uncomfortable. But why don’t you say anything to her about your inconvenience".
