Modern Tech Versus the Past

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the bring-back-gladiators dept.

CNETNate writes "Most of us assume modern life is the peak of human achievement, but is it really? CNET decided to take a look at the major technologies of the modern world and compare them to their closest equivalent of pre-digital mankind — Facebook vs. dinner parties, World of Warcraft vs. actual war craft, iPhones vs. hills on fire — and the results are surprising. And slightly dumb, so laugh."

    Go ahead, bury me, there will be plenty to digg me.

    Fuck the RIAA! This IS Digg, right?
