It's very cool from a geek / technological point of view but I can't help but think that non-lifesaving technology ultimately brings us little good, if you look at the big picture.
- Tossrock 15y ago"Lifesaving" is a pretty nebulous concept. Does a plow which enables higher crop yields and thus less starvation constitute as life saving? Or a weather satellite, which allows prediction of rain patterns and more efficient irrigation usage? Modern technology is all interconnected, and only a few extreme leaf nodes could be unambiguously declared non-life saving.
- stef25 15y agoI'd consider those examples as life-saving, yes. I was thinking more of yet another 'social' website that receives millions of dollars of funding.
