What's the point of spelling these days? Honestly? With all the txt msging (see what I mean? already I'm just not spelling words but you still understand what i meant) and msn, aol, all this stuff, proper spelling and grammar is going completely out the window. And does it really matter? With the technology we have now we don't need to know how to spell correctly it seems, we just put on the spell check and it does the spelling for us. So long as you get the word at least somewhat close to what you were intending the computer will figure it out for you.
You have to wonder, with all these amazing advancements in technology that make things easier for us to cope, don't you start to worry that maybe we're going to hit a wall. We'll only be able to advance so far with the computers fixing our mistakes and solving the problems for us. As we become less able to function (en masse) with our own minds we'll be able to put less information into our trusty computers. Since they are only able to do things that we teach them, the only logical course is that we start putting less and less into them until said wall is hit. At that point our civilization will make a fateful choice, are we going to be able to go back to the old ways of using a combination of our minds and technology to solve problems? Or will we have by that point invented a computer that can solve problems we haven't yet thought of for us, computers that can "think" for themselves.
It would seem to be the most convenient and likely option the way we are progressing now. They will just be able to foresee issues that may/will arise and then come up with a solution. And that my friends, is how The Matrix happened.
