Couch "Dum Aloos" the next species?

Why such a "crazy" title, huh?

Being a foodie I sometimes visualize life as a variety of dishes into which all of us are put as ingredients making the overall experience sometimes hot, sweet, tear-jerking, cold etc. Each dish I feel, educates us of the various flavours of life and their intensities.

Dum Aloo is an Indian curry where we select baby potatoes to cook the dish. Are we bringing up a generation of "Couch Baby Potatoes”?

I see today's children preferring to watch Pogo, Disney, Cartoon Network etc instead of going out to play.

They also take great pleasure in putting in their computers the game DVDs of cricket, football or logging on to the internet and playing cards, chess and whatever else they fancy, instead of "actually playing" these games with their fellow kids.

Would these children miss out the other flavours of life and savour only curries like Dum Aloo? Is that a good sign?

Would these Dum Aloo ingredients around the world slowly learn how to extract chemicals from the air as food for themselves thus making the stomach, intestine etc vestigial organs? Would they learn to transport themselves from place to place using their brains? Would they use telepathy for communication thus making utopian the notions of body language?


Are we seeing the evolution of the next species on planet earth? From "Homo-Sapiens" to "Homo-Craniums" as the only well-developed organs of their body will be the brain!!
