Answer 2

I disagree with your premise that more technology creates more problems in human life. Do you think you have fewer problems living in a house, or a cave? Is starvation a worry for you in this modern age? Who would you be asking your questions to without the Internet, and why aren't you asking it offline? Do you think the world was a better place before technology allowed us to vastly expand our scientific knowledge a thousand-fold? Do you think living today has more problems now that we've cured smallpox and made major advances against cancer?

1. Living happy is a state of mind. But technology gives us many more options that were not available to us before. How much happier would you be living without a phone, TV, radio, CD's, or a computer? That is not to say that you couldn't be happy, but you're obviously happier now, otherwise you'd give up all those things.

2. I don't know why you think the death rate is increasing. Our average lifespans are getting longer in most areas of the world. Those areas where it isn't, is because of things like starvation (which could be helped by technology), or wars, or failed political systems like communism. War is the only area where technology has made the world less happy, but I think it is greatly outweighed by technology's other benefits.

3. "Threats & fear all over the world" is human nature, and has nothing to do with technology. Humans have an "us vs. them" instinct built in that causes us to fear that (and those) whom we do not know.

4. Again, human nature. Many hackers have actually made the net a much more secure place by exposing its weaknesses so that they can be fixed. As for guns, I know this is strictly an American perspective, but guns are what freed our country from tyranny, and the great majority of guns in the U.S. are used for defense, not crime.

5. I don't quote understand what you're trying to say here. But I will say that more advanced technology gives us more efficient products that use less energy. Houses can be built with less wood, cars run on less gas, and many machines use less electricity to do the same work. And if you look at the world, the cleanest countries are the most technologically advanced.

6. Happiness is up to the individual. There are a million ways to find happiness; technology just gives you a few more.

Answer 3

Anyone who wishes to can abandon technology. Go ahead. Throw off all your clothes and move into a forest somewhere. There is still plenty of wilderness left in the world.

But that seems to be an unpopular solution. Quite the contrary - both the most primitive AND the most technologically advanced people in the world still want more technology rather than less. Nor can I help but notice that you are out here on the Internet right along with the rest of us.

Unless you believe that of the billions of people on the planet none of them have the slightest idea how to make themselves happy, you will have to concede, I think, that technology is not the cause of misery.

Yes, we now have problems that did not exist in the past. I don't think anyone would dispute that. What you are overlooking is the vast amount of problems that simply fail to arise altogether because of technology:

We have reached the first time in history when there are more people who are overweight than starving in the world. Whole diseases that used to kill millions have been completely eradicated and now kill nobody. Average life expectancies have doubled in technologically advanced nations. And the quality of that life is better to - you have access to colourful clothes, living spaces, and can learn and experience things undreamed of in ancient times.

If you want to give all this up, you are more than welcome to. You are right - none of this will necessarily make you intrinsically happy. But neither will abandoning it. People can be happy with nothing and miserable with everything in the world... but I suspect it's EASIER to be happy if you have more and HARDER to be happy if you have less, even if these factors don't make those outcomes certain, neh?

Answer 4

Absolutely all advancement or "good" for humanity is an illusion. Someday all humans will be dead. Whether we manage to get to the moon or cure all diseases before that day comes is completely irrelevant.
