What is the point of living longer and being more successful if it means more time to be stressed and unhappy. We have bought into the believe that technology will lead to happiness and it is quite clear that it does not. It may lead to greater productivity, but what does that do for us? A paraphrase from "Fight Club." "We spend our whole life working at jobs we hate to earn money to buy things that we don't need." What do we need? I just have this overwhelming feeling that something isn't right with this system.
Of course this is a best case senario, I tend to think that the internet has given birth to a forum for people with nothing to say and lots of time to say it, run off at the mouth. This leads to a situation where there is so much garbage around that it is impossible to find the pertinate information.
