RE: Technology Is Making Us Depressed

in #religion7 years ago

Thanks for the response. I’m a huge fan of technology. The fact that I’m on Steemit proves this. I know that technology saves lives and makes billions of lives better. I would never want to go back to living in caves.

Some of the wisest and happiest people that I know realize that materialism (fueled by an almost religious lust for new technology) is the root of selfishness and greed.

Some times I think that in the days before vr, before tv, before radio etc... people talked more and spent more time together as a family. I think that technology is leading us away from human contact, and there is grave danger in that.

Sort:  

"people talked more and spent more time together as a family."

I think thats very true, but in my opinion its not the tecnology but how we as a society get affected by it, technology should not end up improving, but we should learn how to handle it better. anyway thanks for the reply!
