[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16995290, member: 45161"] That gameboy you referenced is technology. Being glued to the TV watching news....technology. Obesity has skyrocketed. Depression has skyrocketed. General happiness by polling is down. The general connection with society is down. There are very real correlations with the gig economy negatively impacting the middle class. People aren't getting married, they're not having kids. All of that has a very definitive inflection point. I think there is a misconception that happiness comes from constant entertainment. Go to any park and look around at the parents. They aren't socializing with each other, they're not paying attention to their kids....their heads are buried in their phones. Go to a restaurant or a brewery and look around. How many families are engaged with each other? How many people are looking at their phones rather than talking with each other? Is that a better life? Does going home and binge watching 4 hours of cable TV then doing another 3 in video games improve your life? Are you happier or are you just distracted? Everyone complains that the world is going to shit but all of the sudden we talk tech and it's all rosy again? [/QUOTE]
