All interesting points being made, and I agree with them in balance. However I do believe that health, long life and knowledge are three benefits we all or hopefully most now enjoy whilst not so long ago that wasn't the case.
As for the technology moaning, and internet berating, I find it...
Technology just keeps getting better in advancing people's lifestyle.
We are living longer than ever before.
The internet means world knowledge is better than ever before.
And we haven't had a world war for 71 years.
Can it get better or is it only downhill from now on?
