What is a "true" technology breakthrough compared to a "not true" technology breakthrough?
- BillyTheMage 3y agoI'll leave "true" up to someone else, but in my opinion "not true" is all the stuff that's just a gimmick. Someone might think of the nail puller on the side of a Craftsman hammer to be "an innovation", but to me it's just a gimmick. It's useless compared to anything actually designed to pull nails, and it was added for the sole purpose of making people go "I don't have one of those, I need to buy one". I think a good 50% of "innovations" under capitalism fall into this category. They're only thought of as "innovations" because the parasites who make a profit from it are the ones in charge of headlines.
