Unfortunately that problem is insoluble." - excerpts from 'Straw Dogs' by John Gray in the section "why humanity will never master technology". ” Nothing is more commonplace than to lament that moral progress has failed to keep pace with scientific knowledge.

Infact technology is the manifestation of the ability of our human species. Infact every species show some capibilities and inborn technologies. So technology is our extention our environment ..we ourself. we are not complete eithout it and GOD(scheme of things) choose and gave us this capability. Hi,

It is a biggest myth that we invent or are using technology to bring happiness. Infact technology is the manifestation of the ability of our human species. Infact every species show some capibilities and inborn technologies.

So technology is our extention our environment ..we ourself. we are not complete eithout it and GOD(scheme of things) choose and gave us this capability.

Earlier, we had a less sophisticated life and found happiness in simpler things and maybe we had more time too. As the days get busier and stressful 'coz of technology, it makes us less happy and people are turning to newer technologies (pretty ironical huh?) to find the lost happiness in whatever time they can. So, it is a sort of evolution we are undergoing along with technology. Me think technology has not really changed our state of happiness much.
