Document Summary
Focuses on the fact that humans are among the most adaptable forms of life on earth: primates apes and monkeys and procinions. Anthropology is both comparative and holistic: it examines cultures during all ages and in all places. Examines how whole cultures change and why, thus it is a holistic approach: how different people view patterns, we want to know how different societies interact with each other. (cid:1) The post office and snail mail will disappear: everything will be done by email or technology. Paper checks and probably money will disappear, all things will be changed: things will be done with cards or finger prints. Newspapers, printed books and magazines will disappear, download them: very few people read newspapers, books are being replaced by kindles or ebooks. Land line telephones will be gone: 40% of people own land line phones. Live music and albums will disappear, everything will be downloaded from the web: music will be download to devices.
