i been doing some thinking, and well if humans didnt have all this technology, wouldnt we be better off? i mean look at the world today, crimes, violence, and greediness. because of all this technology, humans wants more money to get them, which leads them for desire to get more. then technology was used for wars.. now think back to the old days, when things were so simple, we were happy too without all this stuff, we didnt desire for more..

No. Instead we used stones to hit our opponent and scream: Oga oga and the possibility of dying is around 30% and it only decreases as u get older if ur an alpha male. But there is one positive thing! We did have alot of sex back then with alot less hassle.

if it wasn't for technology, our life expectancy would have been 35.

Yep. So I'd be writing this from beyond the grave (see ghost thread for more information).
Manun
Well we could have lived longer,cause our life expactancy today is 60 without any medical treatment and those who would have died at the age 35 of physical conditions would have died out in the evolutaionary aspect. But then i didnt account the more physical toil the body has to take as food factors and that u probably would be fighting 24/7 with a mammoth or ur best friend who u saw sleeping with ur girl.

It's not about technology.

It's like saying guns are evil.

It's not the technology that has messed up, it's the people who use it. I'll admit that we're probably not ready for a lot of it, but I certaintly don't blame technology for the woes of humanity. I blame humanity for the woes of humanity.
Manun
Like Sujien said and what i wanted to say. Humans have traits that can be expressed in every possible way in any form (gun, stone etc etc)

Exactly right.... People make the choice to do good or bad with any technology.

If I could go back in time, I would kick Pandora in the box.
