I think it’s awesome having a little rectangle in my pocket that sends text messages from anywhere on earth and summons an encyclopedia (Apple, Google, Starlink, Intel). I enjoy talking to (and seeing) my friends and family while they are thousands of miles away (Cisco, Apple, and many others). I think it is fantastic that we continue to find new labor-saving methods of farming so that fewer people need toil in the fields (the current batch of ag-drone and ag-AI startups). This is like asking “well, why do we need that science mumbo jumbo anyhow?”
