Do we use our Brains and Senses?
HiA new thread, prompted by Mups.
Simple answer is no, we don't.
I have travelled a lot, met some amazing people, what many in the West would describe as uneducated.
Their senses are far more acute than ours.
They can smell, see and hear far better than we can.
They can detect heat signatures with their fingers, far better than we can.
The human brain is capable of far more than we give it credit for.

Yes, so do I Tabs.
I also think the more and more reliant we get on technology, the more our brains will adapt and previously needed senses will eventually disappear.
We won't have to rely on touch or smell or even hearing probably, as future generations will only have to press a button on a screen to know everything they want to know.
Even love nowadays if often found through technology, as is making babies, obtaining food, and even talking.
I suppose before long we will even be able to use 'smell' on computers too.
Think of it, you men will be able to smell your technical lady's perfume online!
It might even be increasingly difficult for us to survive for any length of time one day, if technology broke down for a long period.

The speed of progress can not be sustained at its present rate.It's not linear. We have only had the benefit of electricity for the last couple hundred years and just over a hundred years since the first airplanes took to the skies.
Providing we are not overcome by catastrophe we will start running out of stuff, Copper is one of the first things to go. Can you imagine a world without Copper - No pipes or electrical wires. Sand would be the next thing in short supply.. The desserts are full of it I hear you say...Yes but it's the wrong kind of sand for building or making glass it's too smooth.
So temporarily some of our senses might become dulled or even redundant, and our brains may even lose some of the functions, but the human body is very adaptable and will soon develop the necessary skills to survive in a new environment.
