Does Technology really make us Unhappy?

[Rainbowhawk1993]

Technology is not the primary reason why people are unhappy, its the missuse of it that make it turn aganst us. Consumerisum is the very thing that Technology is making people unhappy. The 1950s was the start of it all because it was the time where wars finally stopped and the U.S. Corporations could finally get the most profits from the citizans. Cars, Highway system, Fast Food, T.V. and advertising. Mixed in with the Conformedy at the time, Consumerisum became apart of every americans' lives and it has servived to this day and is still a big part in society. Consumerisum is the reason why the most distructive force is here: Greed.

With Corparations expanding, they gain more and more by providing things that people don't need but exicivly buy. That inturn creates greed and as we've seen, it is unimagiably destructive. This is why technology is considered to be degrading humanity and seperating it from nature to.

But I do believe that Technology can help humanity if we know how to use it properly. I recently watched Star Trek: First Contact and Patrick Stewert said that when the Enterprise ws built, they didn't use money to build it. Because Humans made first contact with the Vallcans, they advanced Human technology and the Star fleet Economy is based on need and not about what money is available. With the Technology, poverty, diease and Homelessness are eliminated, greed doesn't exist without money and a society was created which still has the human element and isn't a perfect utopia.

Technology can lead us to salvation if we find a way to put it into the right hands.
