Re: Why is technology way ahead of everything else?
Just my 2 cents worth on technology. I DO think it has its uses - especially if we westerners would like to maintain some semblance of our minimal level of comfort.
But something i would like to share here. My grandfather was born in 1902 and passed in 1998 after a much lived life. Born in Scotland and emigrating to Australia with his family when he was a teenager (after his father already spent a year over here to "test the waters")
Anyway a man of his era obviously saw technology soar thru the roof!! From horse and cart to cars (buggies - he liked to call them!! lol) Phones, planes televisions, then mobile phones internet ...etc etc
I asked him not long before he died what HE thought was the biggest change he had seen in his life and what HE thought was the most significant - and I was utterly amazed at his reply.
"After WWII - it seemed like everyone had a job"!!!!
Point being all the technology in the world doesnt allow you to feed your family.
