Comments of the week
“’Would we be better off – overall – without modern technology?”
The question ignores the nature of technology.
Technology is the application of knowledge to a practical purpose. Whether this is through turning them into an advanced tool, taming animals, or searching for a concept on the internet – understanding our environment, and applying that understanding, is an important part. of what it means to be human. Modern technology is nothing but the guided evolution of pre-modern technology.
A more relevant question is, “are we applying our technology in the best way?” Are we using modern technology to make our efforts more efficient and our existence more fulfilling? Are we applying our knowledge to make our lives and world better?
In a collective sense, we usually don’t.”
