This is a philosophical question, which means there is no right or wrong answer in a traditional term, but keep trolling to yourself. If you have no own opinion or respect before such question, please do not answer, thanks. I am not looking for low-quality answers such as … no … yes …
I just wanted to ask what Lemmy, or the Community, things about Tech in general and the influence about how we proceed our own reality in general.
Do you think that Technology made us as species better or do you think that Tech makes us overall more lonely because everything gets faster and faster, more optimized and at the end of the day we’re just searching for meaning in our lives? Love, fulfillment and such things, which Tech cannot entirely replace.
At the end of your own journey, which I like to call life you basically die alone, maybe with people who love surrounded but you go alone into the void. Would you say that getting the latest iPhone or xyz made you a better individual or helped to improve your overall fulfillment, or would you say that such Tech toys and gimmicks are potentially a placeholder for our own emptiness…?
Legitimate feedback, opinions are welcome.
I think technology so far has had a negative impact on society. Both from an individualistic and from a societal perspective. Because of technology, inequality is increasing, we become more polarized, more lonly, feel disconnected, democracies are neglected and completely dependent on tech giants whom act in opposition to our common interests.
