Humans like to think of themselves as pretty clever. We pat ourselves on the back for the technological advances we've made.
However, there are some things that leave much to be desired in the field of advancement.
I've been finding myself saying the thread title a lot recently then going on to describe issues that really need to be solved in a manner that is fitting of our intellect.
For instance:
After getting fish & chips home from the chippy... "We put a man on the moon, but... can't make paper that chips don't stick to."
Watching the world athletics on TV... "We put a man on the moon, but... athletes in aerodynamic gear that's been subject to years of refinement to enhance performance, still have to attach two huge pieces of paper to it with safety pins so we can see who they are."
Anymore... ???
