..and the moon landing changed the world?

As I was waiting at the checkout at my local grocer, the front page of a glossy Time Magazine "millennium" edition caught my eye.

100 Events that the changed the world.  There was a collage of events such as the moon landing, JFK's assassination, Mahatma Gandhi and so on.

The moon landing.  Did it really change the world?  For that matter you can ask that even events such as WWII, the atom bomb, cell phones, pc's, which certainly changed our ways of doing stuff, did it change the world?

Great events like the fall of the Berlin Wall, did that change the world?

From the down of civilization, when agriculture was introduced, to the iron age, Jesus, Rome, Galileo to present day super technology in every aspect of our lives, what has changed?.

As the human race we have not changed!  An event like the black plague or the fall of Apartheid, does not change the human being.  It affects the human race.   For change to take place it is up to the individual to make that decision go deep within, decide how he/she is going to change their relationships with himself and the people around him.

Great events, have a great impact.  We live in the computer age and have changed the way we communicate.   But have we changed how and what we communicate ?  And why we communicate?

So we have 100 events that "changed" the world.  We can read about them and marvel at the historic significance.

Look around us.  We are basically still the same sons of bitches like 50 years ago, 500 years ago and probably 5000 years ago.  We get up, try to make it work in this world, if we are moral people, good.  Some others will use power and force to subjugate others.  We still wage war.  We changed how we wage it.  But we still wage it.

We still have not recognized that we are the human race and we are all the same.  We continually try to categorize every country, culture and color into another category and group.   We still operate like the kings and emperors of old.  Live in castles to keep others out.  Every country still has their enemies. If not without then from within.

So tell, me what world event changed how we as humans have changed?
