I have been plugged into technology for over 30 years at this point (geez...), but I enjoy the culture and music of the 1940's (save for the obvious global war and all the negative things it produced).There have been plenty of times during my career that I have questioned if technology has TRULY improved our lives. Granted, advancements in the medical field and technology in that realm have improved lifespan and the treatment of all manner of maladies, but the gathering of data, how it is shared, and subsequently abused is not an improvement.
Not to climb on a soapbox (or create a political stance), but although technology in and of itself is not "evil" the overall loss of the freedoms it has facilitated or eliminated is something that should not be forgotten.
