Technology = Primitive

Technology often deals with that which is digital.

The idea that technology is rapidly evolving,

is naive.

Technology isn't at a turning point.

It is going backwards.

Unnecessary hours are spent on something,

which could well be spent enjoying something tangible.

Something real.

Something that 50 years ago,

would have probably provided us with a more valid happiness.

A more satisfied interaction with the world.

Placing your feet on the ground and walking for a few metres seems way too demanding for today's technology outlets.

Sure,

technology provides us with a better tool for communication between people of different land structures,

as well as having devices that can access virtually anything at our fingertips,

but,

at times,

the technical errors that it can also provide us with,

can be so close to negligible to its convenient functions,

that it becomes a 'FIXTRASH' [see Endnote]

You either have to fix it or trash it (no other options are available).

It becomes a merciless vacuum -

a technological vacuum that sucks the consumer,

into wanting more functions.....



more MORE MORE!!!



...a never-ending spiral is created.



People get poorer,


and the machines get more famous.



This is the primitive nature of technology.

Reader's may think these words are of an old fart's (which I don't think I am yet),

but ironically, I rely on technology a lot too,

only sometimes, things really really don't turn out as expected.

2 primary examples that you may relate to:

1) How many times have you scrolled through your digital music player (with iPods being the main perpetrator) whilst getting annoyed at over-clicking or under-clicking [similar to over-steering/under-steering in driving] (i.e. you think your click is precise on the song/media item that you want, but then it just misses your intention by an irritating little bit)?

2) What about the times you update the software on your computer and the latest version just happens to get rid of a feature that you thoroughly enjoyed from a previous version? [Sure, you can find some site that has the old versions available, but that's just going back to the idea that technology wastes unnecessary time]

Wondering is easy,

about how all those moments spent dealing with technology's many little debilitating errors may find a better use.

I specifically wonder about those precious moments which could be used for doing more productive things,

like learning to write a proper formal letter,

or learning how to talk to strangers,

or even something like beating your walk-around-the-block record.

They are all rare sights these days.

People should be paid to let other people watch them do these things.

These natural attractions.

Technology is inevitable in most people's lives,

yet expectations for its friendliness towards users

should be kept at a safely low level,

for now at least.....
