Forever my favourite comic on tumblr.

While this is true, how do we possibly escape this fate? Technology is unavoidable, and as it evolves we use it to make things easier and more pleasurable for us because we can, and why wouldn’t we? The only thing is as we become more dependent we begin to lose sight of how we were when we weren’t so dependent, because we don’t need to be that way anymore. In one sentiment it’s evolution and in the next it’s our complete downfall, so really what are we supposed to do? How can we destroy a monster that improves our lives so much?

We can choose not to buy iPhones or Kindles or flatscreens. What is improvement? Why is going digital an evolutionary step forward?  Technology gives and takes away. What if improving our lives meant letting go of our ego, learning the value of unconditional love, or basing an economy on shared prosperity instead of individual greed?
