Anytime some product analyst proclaims breathlessly that technology will bring us closer to some utopia, I just smh. Then I recall Paul Simon’s anti-tech-as-progress song Boy in the Bubble. It’s chorus ends with the words “These are the days of miracle and wonder, so don’t cry, baby, don’t cry.”
In other words, if all that technological progress Paul saw around him during the amazing 80s was so great, why does suffering still endure?
Tech is neither the meaning of life nor the answer to life.
It's both a bane and a blessing, depending upon circumstance and is becoming ever more unavoidable. Learn it, let it make your life better where it fits into it for you. Learn it, in order to minimize or avoid the things you don't like about it. Total avoidance is almost impossible already, you just don't realize that yet because it isn't all that readily visible.
