Discovery, I'm loving it!
I've never liked myself sitting in front of the television. Ofcourse it's a different thing that everytime I realise it all and curse myself only after spending a solid couple of hours or more! The reason, I had always felt my time vanishing with no trace when I do it. And worse- I dont land up watching anything worthwhile. There seems to be a silent urge to look for a better channel, a better program and a better way to keep myself entertained. The remote works tirelessly when stuck in my hand and ultimately I throw it mercilessly on the sofa and shut off the idiot box.
But it is entirely different when it comes to Discovery. There are other channels like it but somehow i always felt Discovery has worked for and maintained it's distinct space. I get glued to it hands down. For instance, I was watching this Discovery Theatre program. It was exploring the evolution of life on earth, some 50 million years ago till now and from now on to a 100 million years into the future. I was impressed with the research details, the graphics and visualization of the future ecosystem that was shown.
With land moving towards the north and merging into one solid piece, earth's atmosphere would be lot more harsher than whats now. May be the global warming and pollution that we humans contribute would bring this day a bit earlier than it would normally occur. And the species that can adapt themselves and enhance their existing strengths are picked out as most suitable to survive through till that day. Unfortunately, humans dont fit into this category... how fragile are we! sigh!! But may be we equip ourselves with technology and brain to face it, find newer homes outside earth... hmmmm, thats nice!! When you stretch your vision to look so far, thinking of tomorrow or a year ahead looks so tiny and easy, doesnt it?
