FTFY
- TeMPOraL 9y agoNo. Technology, period. It's whole point is to make easier things that are difficult, and make possible things that are otherwise not. Consumerist technology is just crap version of actual technology; the former being designed primarily to make money off consumers.
- atomashpolskiy 9y agoThere is a vast difference between "making things possible" and "making life easier". Same as between a spaceship and a remote TV control. I'd even go as far as to say, that such consumer-oriented interpretation of the role of technology is one of the reasons, why the world is such a mess in 2017.
