Once, long ago, we were miserable. We lived in cold, dark caves, until someone figured out fire, which lead directly to the iPhone. Most of that happened very slowly, but then we came up with capitalism. Suddenly, we went from no iPhones for 200,000 years, to the iPhone 15 — all in the last two decades!
We all know that technology is progress, but progress towards what? Where exactly are we going? And who the hell is driving? What are computers even for, and why do I need one in my fridge?
