There's a little Luddite in every generation that grows up to
see what's "Future Tech" to them.
We go from being "current" to being "past" the moment we start
saying "REMEMBER THE GOOD OL' DAYS?"
[kids do it just as much - nostalgia is something all people go
through]
That "Things were better without today's [x]" thing , I think,
KEEP the past alive, sometimes progressing deeper into an
interest of simpler and simpler technologies... a nostalgia even
for times PROCEEDING one's own childhood, and into their parents
generation, grandparents generation... and then even back
hundreds or thousands of years.
That's why I don't worry so much about it.
For as many people blindly tethered to assuming "The Way Things
Are" is "The Way Things Will Always Be", there are many more who
long for "a simpler time".
[each of whom have a different idea what a simpler time is]
With the combined ADDITIONAL education within the population
that we already have, we can survive any technological breakdown
without much difficulty.
