Destructive Ways
It is not far-fetched but it will take time, long time, before human beings will inflict similar damage to the digital environment the way the damages have been done to our physical environment.
Today, we enjoy almost everything that we can take out of mother earth. We consume, pay, then gasp at the pump at the ever increasing price of gas. Who among us have thought, that a gallon of oil will reach $200 very soon? But we do love driving gas-guzzlers and drive around town as if driving doesn't do any harm at all. Humans have the intelligence and the means to have our cars run on anything else other than oil, but the profit motivation is first, all the rests, second. We travel, we take comfort, we consume all the oil, all the minerals that can be dugged and siphoned out of earth. All we do is reproduce: create more people like us who will compete to dig, mine, siphone, and use the earth's finite resources. We take out goods, we return with garbage. We take the good air, we give back the bad air.
Perhaps, the earth's only consolation is, when our bodies die and are sent back to fertilize the poisoned lands, instead of being sent to a cyrogenic freezer.
The digital world, which is a useful tool to enjoy and fulfill our fantasies, has been gradually infiltrated. It is hard to fathom, why such destructive ways of humans such as virus, scams, lies, propagandas, etc. found their ways in this purest invention of man. Pray tell that animals like dogs and cats, horses and cows will never ever learn to communicate via the internet. Yes, if they will, they will surely recognize these destructive ways of humans in the digital environment. It will affirm of what they think of us: the really lowly creatures of the universe! Animals take care of their own. Humans destroy their own!
