Have We Reached A Saturation Point?

Let's think about it.

In all facets of human living, survival and our pursuit of things, there comes a time when the best has been and done. So, there is a comparison point for everything that comes after that. We have seen the best of the movies, the music, the books, the people, and these things belong to the past.

There will never be another band like The Beatles.

There will never be a book like The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy.

There will never be another song like "Another Brick in the Wall" or "Comfortably Numb"

There will never be great people like (Insert your favorite person here)

Let's look at music, what was the last great earth shattering and generation changing song that we've heard after "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Let's look at technology, Apple iPods have set a benchmark, not matter how weird the positioning of the benchmark is but every mp3 player in the next 5 years stands comparison to the iPods. Frankly, an iPod is not the greatest mp3 player but, it's got a name, a brand and that what makes the comparison worthwhile.

Looking back home, at India, let's look at us, where is the charisma in our leaders? Where is the beauty in our Bollywood? Where is the skill in our singers?

What am I on about here?

What I am on about here is that this is the saturation point of our generation. Either we are too overloaded with information that we are blind to the things we should be seeing, or the benchmark has been set really high by those in the times past and it just cannot be scaled.

The world needs a hero and in our times, there is none.
