The author seems to be caught up in a dream. There is substantial criticism on technological "solutions" and the author fails to address those.
Technology has been described as vicious circle previously as the problems it "solves" it (the technology) created in the first place, so it's not really going anywhere... and only grows (for its own sake?).
Distinguished authors like Ted Kaczynski wrote on this.
- NovaDudely 3y agoThis is a theme you see around, we are creating techno solutions to problems, created by techno solutions - the real question is if we are happier now than in the past. It is debatable, empirically we have more than ever per individual and yet happiness is subjective. So long as we can keep going in that direction it should be alright. Right? It is similar to Ted K in that, yes, here is a whole lot of problems that the technological society have brought on. Cool, now what? I ain't going to do what Ted did and even then - the happiness question pops up - will it make us any happier to follow that path. I don't know but I have a feeling that it wouldn't help or hurt, we just have a default and go with that.
