Portable phones are one thing but computer operated cargo trucks are another, and yes that technology IS in tha process of becoming QUICKLY commercialized as we speak. Advanced technology is not our friend, just ask them niggaz that work 4 Hershey Park in PA. Napster and Apple have started society`s downfall and in literally a few years it`ll be clearly more evident than it is today...like it already isnt. But i bet u people are too scared to speak up on it and would rather just let it happen then stop it even tho we have all of tha ``power``. And no Im not sayn that those two companies are to blame exclusively but they kinda are to technology what McDonalds is to American weight issues.

completely ridicolous statement. technology is a wealth multiplier and responsible for most advances in the past hundred years. the solutions to all of humanities problem will be derived from technology and the people who are able to think shit up using it. there are a whole host of problems in the world, but bigger picture technology is not the cause of them. most people who work are taking far more out of the real physical economy than they put in - our value systems are outdated and unworkable for very much longer. in a system geared toward depletion and finite resources you hit a brick wall unless technology steps in to save our butts. for this to happen the system still has to change significantly and a lot of the corruption/inbalances cut out. real talk.
Teddy Roosevelt:
Any of these things will help the economy:
-Get rid of the Federal Reserve
-Go back to the gold standard
-Lower taxes
-DON'T PASS BUDGETS THAT SPEND MORE MONEY THEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS! <----I know it's a radical concept, but it should be tried.

technology is the BEST and WORST thing to happen in tha past hundred years. technology is the main reason people are losing their jobs and their stock. matty i think you're tha only 1 that i've ran into that's said that lol but seriously tho son u mad wrong on that, shit is mad fucked up out here becuz of technology, that's why jobs are being shipped overseas everyday (becuz technology makes the labor/expenses of certain jobs virtually free). i see u tho, tryna put up an argument n shit but naw son, u know u wrong.

Its helped alot but it has also caused damage and most of the damage we're not gonna see til the future. Imagine a car without gas...yes its great u have a car to go places but if u dont have gas u cant go anywhere its useless. Imagine if some catastrophic happens and u cant use computers...u are basically paralyzed. U know what happens if a hospital loses power and their backup is also out? more than half the people there will die...these are just some small examples, theres alot more

jobs shipping overseas has nothing to do with technology directly and no i'm not wrong. shit is mad fucked on a lot of levels right now up but people losing their jobs because of advances in technology is a good thing in principle. think about it, it frees us up to do other shit or for those who aren't as useful just not consume as many resources. the fact that the system and our value systems are so badly configured that we can't move toward a more advanced efficient framework for society does not make technology itself bad. super real talk!
