"Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Dan.12:4 Knowledge has certainly increased within this generation almost beyond belief! In fact to research studies show that the total store of human knowledge is now doubling every eight years. 80% of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive today. Every minute they add 2000 pages to man's scientific knowledge, and the scientific material they produce every 24 hours would take one person 5 years to read. About a half-million new books are published every year. In 1970 when Apollo 13 was lost in space, computers worked out in 90 minutes a way to bring it back. It would have taken a scientist working with a pencil & paper over a million years to figure out how to do the same feat. But even since 1970 computer technology has developed so fast that if the auto industry had developed at the same rate, you would today be able to buy a Rolls Royce for three dollars! ... and you could fit eight them on the head of a pin! The most basic building block of computer technology, the transistor, was invented at Bell Labs in 1948. In 1994 a computer chip could hold 3.1 million transistors, more than twice as many as the previous year's model. By the end of the decade, a chip contains more than a billion transistors. Machines today have become so complicated, only the most highly trained technicians can even understand them! But have all these amazing scientific discoveries & technological breakthroughs made mankind any happier or more civilized? It seems like the more gadgets & luxuries with which man tries to find happiness & satisfaction, the more discontented & miserable he becomes! In our day & age "knowledge" has certainly "increased."
