Blaming the majority of social problems on it is just plain silly. Take any given time period n from present day t - n and expand it into a stasis for decades.

Blaming the majority of social problems on it is just plain silly. Take any given time period n from present day t - n and expand it into a stasis for decades. It wouldn't evaporate social problems if we were stuck using dos, let alone the majority of them. The actual stressor that gets fixated upon and scapegoated appears to be something ironically very old and unchanged - memento mori. The Eiffel Tower was called hideous and something to tear down to those who knew the city long before its placement. For those later it was a part of Paris and tearing it down would be sacrilege. Beyond a certain point in life everything new becomes a marker of your obsolescence as you personally remember how things were before. Those after you never would.
