If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger. ~Frank Lloyd Wright
This quote is from the same lot as all the others, slightly pessimist. The human mind has intertwined into itself to such a point that what he creates can actually surpass its creators, it is amazing and quite the hard concept to grasp. When you analyze the idea of atrophy and you apply it to the whole idea of our laziness and its product, you come to the conclusion that maybe this will happen, but not with our muscles, as much as with our minds. Our minds, after a complete lack of necessity but for the obvious, will devolute, making our minds only contains the needed for the management of all the instruments. Our whole brain will go down levels of Intelligence and rationalization that took us ages to gain. We will be completely dependent on these implements, and our body will most probably follow the body, becoming completely useless, except for the needed, in the computers case, the push-button finger.
