I used to love technology. I still think it is awesome, but I also think it is on the cusp of utterly destroying civilization.
I sometimes wonder if governments are embracing the global warming farce to create a system of wealth distribution to ensure everyone has money in a world where nobody is really needed for production of food, products and services. Part of that will be lots and lots of government “make-work” jobs.
Just thinking out loud.
That is about where I am at too. There is a practical limit and after that it becomes completely irrational.
Nah, global warming is nothing new, it’s exactly the old snake oil scam. If you take snake oil and get better then it cured you. Otherwise you needed to take it sooner, or take more. And you have to take it when you are well too, to prevent you getting sick.
This is not science, because there are no tests or alternate outcomes. You must take advantage NOW of this limited time offer!

I’m the same way. I used to read about 8 tech blogs a day 10 years ago to keep up with all the cool stuff being developed, now I look at about two, and none of the news is about anything other than stale releases of the same phones and tablets or the latest privacy breach and state intrusion into tech.
It feels like the tech companies have all stopped making nifty consumer gadgets and now are all building a digital cage around us. Just going into Best Buy no longer instills the wonder it once it. Everything is over-connected and not inspiring. Just crap to lock you in.....to something.
Makes me glad I bought a Zune off eBay just to have one gadget from the good old days when everything wasn’t watching you or learning from you.
