That's what the infrastructure is there for. To be used. The food you ate today was probably transported on the interstate.
The rest of what you said comes off to me like the ancient Greeks complaining books make you not have to memorize everything. Technology marches on and things become more convenient.

Nice, I'll open a BBQ stand in the middle of the crossroad next to my building then. Stopping for half a second to wonder where we're all collectively going might be a tiny bit more useful that what you insinuate, but I guess that makes me a turbo boomer. You seem to think that every new technology is by default "progress" and we should accept progress, because why not, hence every new technology should be accepted. I assume you're smart enough to see how that argument doesn't hold water. Technology doesn't just automagically happen, people make it happen, people with opinions, opinions which might not be aligned with other people's opinions and should be discussed. > things become more convenient. For who ? Not for the old woman with a cane who has to walk on the road to avoid the scooter on the sidewalk. Not for the "juicer" working all night to charge your e scooter for a few $. Not for the mom and pops shop who have to buy/rent/license amazon (or whoever) bots to deliver their food to customers through some third party app which takes a cut.
