The problems and repercussions that digitalizing works has done to humanity is incredible, and no

Some people like to think
ahead, way ahead. Researches have figured out a way to change the Earth's
orbit so that when the sun heats up in a billion or so years, we won't be cooked to death. All
they need is a big asteroid and we should be able to create an orbit with a greater radius. It's nice
to know that my great^134934 grand children will be able to still live on earth, assuming we haven't
nuked ourselves to oblivion already.
