But when surfing the internet, I came across a very short and simple yet very interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/blogs\/shortsharpscience\/2009\/04\/make-the-world-a-better-place.html\">article<\/a>. It is written by <a class=\"zem_slink freebase\/guid\/9202a8c04000641f8000000000db2e54\" title=\"Paul D. Marks\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paul_D._Marks\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Paul Marks<\/a> on the New Scientist blog, Short sharp science. The author puts forth a very simple scenario and a question for his readers: If you were able to use a time-machine and go back in time, which invention would you un-invent to make the world a better place (in your view, of course)? And this post has recieved 183 comments. I didn&#8217;t read all of them but the first 30 odd I read gave some interesting and amazing answers, ranging from God to internet to roundabouts. So I HAD TO sign in to my blog and share this with my readers!<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">As for me, I&#8217;d un-invent the first ever steam-machine that began the industrialisation and I&#8217;d also un-invent religion. In my view, the world would be a much better place without both these. The former has brought the world too close for comfort and yet managed to isolate every human. The latter has brought a subgroup of the populace together but alienated it from the rest of the human race.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">So, what would YOU un-invent?<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Image source: http:\/\/www.sonic.net\/] Today I had decided not to write any blog post, just take&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,30,46,51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-human-interference","category-science","category-technology","has-comment-form"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiance-holistic.com.au\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
