Technology at Work
The maps of the Netherlands here remind us of the triumph of science and technology. We are savages in many respects, but our “big brains” have enabled us to do great things.
Our problem lies in the fact that most of our developments have nothing to do with improving our lives. We have better weapons of war, less nutritious food, degraded entertainment, social media that hastens the spread of misinformation, more “news” channels that are carefully calculated to divide us, and bigger, faster tractors to destroy our rain forests.
A humanistic approach would be a welcome change.
