there are some achievements we still don't understand, like how did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids though
We do, it's called scaffolding and pulleys :-)
Seriously though, you make good points about our technology swallowing us, however I guess every time has it's problems. At one point books were viewed like iPads are today, although I have been part of that Whatsapp malaise you describe! :-)
Just read an article about the pyramids, it was sloppy of me - sorry.
Thanks for the comment :)
Lolz, not sloppy at all, something that happens all the time, has inspired an article, which is why you will be getting 2 Steem into your bin pretty soon :-)
