Do you think it is pretty much the standard of this generation to be sucked into electronics?
Electronic love i guess

Yeah, electronics are the shit. In fact, lots of things are the shit and electronics happen to be in that category. Our generation is just the benefactor of the technological revolution. Our parents would have been doing the same shit had they been able to at our age.

yeah, i think about the ramifications of technology on all generations (but specifically those who are born into it).
i didn't grow up with cell phones or the internet. it's certainly interesting to observe those who have never known a time without these technological "essentials".

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

That's a rather simplified way of looking at things. Technology rules your daily life whether you realize it or not.
Unless you happen to live in some tribal village in Bostwana, but I don't think you do...look at me running around making crazy assumptions!

Yeah technology ruled our daily lives back in the days of rocks and spears too.

Yeah I was going to point that out too.... since a spear is technology.
It's just way more pronounced these days, what with everyone driving internal combustion engines around (crazy shit when you think about it), talking on our computers... going to our jobs and schools... all centered around the same principle.... if the machines stopped working how we want, everyone is fucked.
Hence the demand for techs, talk about job security

The machines are just physical extensions of our intents. Hence they co-evolve.
We are no more/less masters of technology than we are masters of our own destiny. The tech works based on rules we set and we work based on rules the universe sets.

Very true. That doesn't mean we can't solve many of the problems of our world with technology.
The way I see it their are two kinds of technology. Those that cause problems and those that solve them.

Yeah all im saying is its not technology solving those problems, its increased awareness in general. Tech is just the means. But so is pure energy. We should use all the means we can to ultimately merge everything tho.

Yeah. Greater connectivity, leading to better consolidation of the human collective/universal experience, leading to a better network that can adapt and solve problems better and quicker.

I agree bro, I don't use it and am probably happier for it, although I do feel myself falling behind in popular culture (not that this is a bad thing for happiness).

Technology is not good or bad until it's implemented, the issue being people with world views like ours generally aren't the ones that implement the technologies.
Edit: Although not exactly true since we are implementing the internet right now. Was referring to newer, more complex technologies.

Yeah obviously we have not reached a healthy balance yet. Whoever had the biggest stone knife back in the day was probably implementing the hell out of it too, but thats counterproductive to the progression of our species as a whole, just as it would be counterproductive to the development of any complex system, you cant add another row to a card house if the current row inst balanced. Only our evolution is more like a cardhouse fractal, even eventually enough pieces become balanced to overpower the remainder in pushing the progression of the spiral forward.
