What about the computer you’re sitting in front of? The internet it’s connected to? Portable entertainment systems of an exceedingly wide variety? GPS? Not to mention the improvements, everything in your kitchen takes less energy to do its job, and requires less space for better insulation if applicable. Your car has more comfortable seats with a better dash display more fuel efficiency and a quieter engine and ride.

I think a lot of things have improved your life in ways you just don’t think about.

We sent a man to the moon before computers (specifically PC’s) came on line. I performed many intricate engineering tasks with my slide rule. And now the computers are much more complex than what I need.

The biggest fallacy going around is that computers have enhanced brain power. That is such a lie. Computers are not one cent better than the people writing software codes.

Again the crux of my point is that my life has not changed significantly since 40 years ago. I had refrigerators, air conditioning, heating, washers and dryers, cars, dial-up phones, etc 40 years ago. Those items made real impact in my quality of life. PC’s, internet, smart phones...useful but not a big deal in my life.
