Should we discard our clothes harden ourselves for the weather to become less dependent on clothing manufacturers?
Technology is what separates humans from the rest of the animals. As time goes by, we will become more and more dependent on our technology, and this is a good thing, because I with my smartphone or laptop can do things I wouldn't be able to do alone.
- grammaton 16y agoFalse analogy. There is a big, big difference between clothes that keep you from perishing due to exposure, and your shiny new smart phone. The real problem here is that the author is, apparently, incapable of thought without an array of instant-access resources at his disposal.
- KeithMajhor 16y agoThe difference, in this case, between clothes and "your shiny new smart phone" is novelty. Since the subject of the article is the future I don't think the analogy was unreasonable.
- amouat 16y agoClearly he is capable of thought without "instant-access resources", given that he drafted the article without them. Internet access is becoming a fundamental human requirement; this need should not be overly exploited by corporations.
- grammaton 16y agoFood, water, shelter, medical care. These are fundamental human requirements. The internet is not. Sorry, but it's just not.
