More from the 1950s to the 1980s..
I qualify and you are definitely correct.
I was not around in the 50’s but I believe that the really creepy changes started in the 90’s as digital technology and miniaturization really took hold. This made Big brother the real deal. It also made weapons technology far more deadly and targeted. Every field has been greatly impacted by computers. Do you want to mess with Gene’s? Do you want to mess with bio? Do you want to keep track of every detail of a persons life. Do you want to brainwash the population? Now we are well on the way to some serious AI and the “terminator” becoming real to life. All while the world is becoming so PC.
Many people think these advances in technology are somehow good for mankind. Some of them maybe are. Medical advancements are numerous.
But I would trade it all to go back to earlier days. The world was actually a far better place to be in the 50’s. You need not lock your doors. You could leave you keys in the ignition. A child could walk around the neighborhood unsupervised and be fairly safe. Everyone talked to one another- Did things together. Your neighbors all knew you.
Mankind is definitely not gaining anything that matters. They are losing it all.
