It use to but not anymore.The medical field is working together with the food industry an making us sick so they can sell us drugs to make us better.Robotics is working on replacing humans and massive warfare devices .Ai is trying to replace everyone and stealing water and electricity.All devices are used for mass surveillance.Tech will never again benefit Humans
>>109682485The world still hasn't recovered since the steam locomotive snapped away tens of thousands of hard working horse driver and breeder jobs. Those people had families. We delivered goods on trustworthy 10-horse wagons, just like we did for centuries. I can't believe people are actually supporting the evolution of technology given the world becomes poorer and harder to live in every time we figure out how to do something quicker, easier, and cheaper.
>>109682527I remember the 80s nobody even knew someone with cancer.Every idiot had a girlfriend.Food had different taste.
>>109682740> Cancer rates have gone down, more people hear about cancer (phones, social media)> Still do, but people are dating less now. Expectations are higher.> There's less spiders and pubes in fast food on average
>>109682783They lie on statistics you are an imbecile
>>109682944You fool. All along I was lying about their lied about statistics, thusly your empirical observation just strengthened my position.
>Tech will never again benefit HumansLife has always been shit, anon. Except for the few lucky %.
>>109682485Tech has always been taken advantage of by the elite the most.
>>109683567How much crossover is there between "the elite" and *intelligent" people? Are only dumb people wealthy?
>>109683681the correlation between intelligence and socioeconomic status breaks down above the 98th percentileas in, really rich people are above average in intelligence but not genius level, and geniuses are financially comfortable but not filthy rich, on averagealso very intelligent people often learn that teachers are stupid by the teacher's behavior before they learn that school is not about being smart and learning and understanding things but about demonstrating that you can take orders from a dumbass for multiple hours every day

>>109682485>The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human raceProve me wrong
>>109684034Replace Industrial with Neolithic and you're correct.
>>109682485>Tech making life better is a lieTed tried to warn you.Counterpoint: Nothing makes life less-shitty. Tech is just another coping mechanism, nothing new about that.
>>109684034have you ever done an actual man's work? with machines and shit? Do you have any clue how hard it is to farm without equipment?
>>109685779Equipment existed before the industrial revolution.
>>109682783So are people happier?No, they're fucking not.
>>109683567Because the rich had most control of it in the first place, that's not saying much.>>109684034>>109682485Refer to the above, but tech itself can be used to better your life in tons of ways, except you have to make it yourself because companies can't maximize profit if they made shit actually beneficial for people.
