I think .. so I am .. but why do you need to think any more !!

I was just wandering through "you Tube" when I came across a particular video that I liked a lot . I will give you the link . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8 .. It is basically stating how things actually worked . A thought came to me , like why do we need to do all this , when the end result of all the research we Phd and masters candidates , and all the Managerial MBA's are doing is to increase and pamper the human needs . The video shows specifically that as we are doing more and more research , coming up with newer products and disposing older products we are basically consuming up the whole of the earth and we are eating up the existing species .. I am doing research on computer architecture and chip design , somebody else is working on to build a new processor that will be faster and lighter and somebody else is trying to find another material that could replace silicon ... but why !!! why are we doing this just so that some kid can boast to his friend at school , that the new Playstation has lauched which has inbuilt virtual reality and which runs multiple online games at a time and the games have better graphics and the there is no lag while streaming .. and then the consumers are happy for some half a month and at the same time the people who have done this want to make/create another competitive market and thus they launch another Gaming processor which will be a better one .. and there are the market gurus who are always there to sell and market these products and the consumer is the one who is there to buy them on and on and on .... when will this end .. no this is not the question .. I am asking myself a question .. when will people stop thier research so that we do not come up with new things , when will people stop apllying there research on the cost of the environment .. when will the number of people coming out of Management colleges dwindle ... the number of animals who are present in wild reserves are dwindling , the species of wild animals are slowly becoming extint ... but the people doing research are not dwindling .... there are more and more research happening . people dont want to be satisfied with what they have .. they will need a better i-pod and they want to have all the features built into it .. the society has become such that you cannot back out now ..This is the problem .. you are working so hard ....do you need to work so hard .. Everyday you wake up .. take hold of your Laptop and start coding ....and at the end of the day you pray to god and say... ya I am at the right path since I am working so hard and I will succeed one day ... on doing what ??? Destroying the only planet that god has made for you .. and you are working so hard to destroy it .. The end result is that only ... ........ To be continued ...
