Where's the adventure?

For my first real post I want to talk about something that I noticed a few days ago and thought "wow I can use that in my blog". My idea is that the world is a lot more boring then it was in the past because we know to much about it. Just imagine if we still lived in a world where if you went a few hundred miles in any direction how much more exciting the world would be. If there was more mystery in the world today and still vast blank spaces on the map I think the world would be a lot more fun. Everyone could be an explorer all you would need is the will to be one. These days the only real frontier is space, and that can only be explored that the select few NASA decides to hire. Anyway my point is that everyone thinks that the world is a better place because of all the technology we have, but maybe in some ways it's making life a little more bland.

Well Greg I feel that the world we live in is full of adventure, you just need to look a little harder than in the past, and remember only 80% of the ocean has been explored. PP

Even before the entire world was mapped it was almost impossible to go anyplace on it that no human had been before. In a personal sense, exploring the world now is the same as ever. Also there are a multitude of other frontiers of knowledge to explore. No matter how much we learn, what we don't will always be much greater than what we do. Adventure is always a personal thing, and only a very few have been the first to share their's with the world.
