r/evolution.

The documentary we watched last class was at times confusing but also very informative. I found it interesting when they showed the young children in the class room learning the twenty six (in Charlie’s case the twenty four) letters of the alphabet. The narrator went on to say how the letters by themselves don’t mean anything until they are paired with other letters. Those paired letters make words which then make sentence which then communicate ideas. I also thought McLuhan’s idea that technology ultimately is an extension of our bodies is also very accurate and kind of reflects the idea of evolution. Many people who do not have access to technology do not live as long as some one who does.
