Scientific evidence proves that the human cranium has increased much over the time the species has been in existence. Greater cranial capacity enables for more room for the brain, which indicates higher intellect. By means of global communication and information through readily accessible sources, we are smarter than people thousands of years ago and those of yesterday. Yet, certain aspects of our collective unconscious have gone completely unaltered. These aspects are intangible, yet are proven to exist through the way we behave and associate with one another. Immature humor was appreciated in the time of Cervantes (1500's) and it's continued to be appreciated with the same uncouth sentiment as it ever was. Prideful individuals still sneer at it and the youth still engage willingly. The methods by which it's exhibited have changed, but the passionate sentimentality towards it's subject hasn't altered one bit.

In Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen deliberates situations that can be paralleled with those which occur today. Despite the fact that it's a fictitious novel and written in the 1700's, it still contains revealing aspects of communication error and how it can realistically warp our reputation and perception of others. People backstabbed, behaved dastardly and ignorantly towards each other hundreds of years ago and they will continue to hundreds of years from now. In unison it's strangely morose and romantic.

No matter how much war, technological advance, or cranial-growth we experience in the next hundreds/thousands of years we'll still perpetuate these human habits along with several others. We are organic, raw, and imperfect; we are dependable in that our personalities differ greatly but collective affinity is established through parallel thinking. No matter of technology will diminish our empathy and how we use it in regards to other cognitive beings, despite what all the dumb-ass futuristic novels or surveys say.
