Article Title: The Rise of "AWESOME"
By: Robert Lane Greene
Central Argument: Just like the meaning of the word "awesome," several things have evolved throughout history into something completely different of what they originally were.
Evolution is the development of various things over time. Throughout history various things have evolved; however, whether this evolution is for the good or bad is a completely different question. Evolution can be associated to living things as well as phenomenons like technology and words. One of these words is "awesome," whose meaning has evolved over time from a word to praise god to appreciate anyone for the smallest of reasons. Just like the meaning of the word "awesome," several things have evolved throughout history into something completely different of what they originally were.
Human Beings is one of the biggest examples of evolution.We have evolved over the centuries from an ape who walked on four limbs into humans who walk on two limbs. This transition took place slowly and through various stages. This was so that we could adapt to the various changes taking place around us. Human beings evolution is one of the most interesting phenomenons that many evolutionists have tried to study. The entire body structure an lifestyle of human beings has evolved over time, turning us from nomadic cannibals into well-civilized individuals. Our minds are way more developed and organized at present as compared to the minds our ancestors had thousands of years ago. Our perspective has broadened from just survival to creating a "New World." We are way different from what we were thousands of years ago, and this is all because of evolution.
Cellphones have also evolved throughout history into multitasking smartphones from portable communication devices. The inventor of telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, would never have dreamt that his product would develop into a do-all, touch-screen, multi-tasking, life changing device. The evolution of cell phone has been one of the most rapid changes to take place in the past century. It was invented as a portable device that can be used to call somebody. However, now it is used for checking emails, paying money, clicking photos, playing games and several other things. It has become an integral part of everybody's daily life. The concept of a mobile has changed from something that can be used to call somebody to an all time entertainment device. It has evolved drastically throughout the past few years. And to top it all the invention of iPhone really set the stage for drastic makeover of cellphones. The meaning of cellphone has evolved into something far more complex than it originally was meant to be.
Modes of transportation have also evolved throughout the past centuries. From animal backs to carts to rafts to boats to ships to trains to cars to airplanes, it has transformed drastically overtime. A few years ago even the thought of traveling across the world in one day was too vague to be true, but now it is easily possible. Cars which earlier would travel at 30 km/h are now traveling at 150 km/h. Time is money and the developers of modes of transportation have understood that. Many inventions of faster motors, lighter engines, thinner body and other have been used to improve the quality of modes of transportations. Ships no longer rely solely on wind, but have engines to propel them forward. Boats are no longer driven by oars but by electric motors. Cars are no longer all about comfort but about speed as well. Simple put modes of transportation have evolved a lot in the past centuries from animal backs to airplanes. It has evolved to meet our needs and live up to the demands of the people.
Evolution has been taking place and will continue to take place throughout the history of the world. Just like the meaning of the word "awesome" has evolved over the centuries, so have several other things. This is because of our continuos desire to change and thus the need for other things to meet our demand. Evolution has become a part and parcel of history of the Earth and we humans have to accept this fact. Change has taken place and will continue to take place, we just need to get used to it.
