Our software has improved since the domestication of animals and crops.
Our hardware has not changed and we are still on H. Sapiens 1.0.
- fakedang 5y agoIsn't it the other way? Hardware has changed as massive inventions have augmented our living standards. While at the same time, the software (IE human mentality) hasn't over 1000s of years, except for maybe hard disk usage (which is human knowledge).
