You know we're going to lose contact with V1 this decade, and as of last year the data stopped making sense? Which tied into my criticism of your other comment, we're getting close (in the grand scheme) to how small we can make a transistor so we just make clusters of electron based compute models each running its own resources or do we invest in finding a better more efficient way?
You've kind of whiffed what I said, at no point did I talk about tech over all else like some kind of Adeptus Mechanicus :D
My take here is that our grasp of tech is what allowed us to surpass other animals. Again, looking at "technology" in some really shallow one dimensional way. There are tons of environmental and communal benefits we've gained through our technological pursuits, the sad view is maybe thinking all tech things are bad and viewing that part of our world only in its moral inferiorities. Our domestication of fire being a prime example of a technology benefitting our social and communal enrichment.
Good job moving the conversation further away from the post
Contrarian much, you have multiple answers for exactly the answer you asked for.
As a species, the one thing that defines us is the pursuit of technology to overcome our natural physical ability. We are currently hitting a wall in regard to electron based computing.
I think you're confusing technology with politics to the point you're just making a point unrelated to the topic.
All tech raises the standard if that's then used by people to horde resources and have an unbalance in quality of life that's a policy issue not one of the technology.
But also lovely skin
