I wasnt saying that its completely because of technological advancement. But look at how things are. Hardly anyone ever writes things down anymore, and I mean the old fashioned way, with paper and pencil/pen. Though everyone will make up the excuse of the lack of trees, but when did we start worrying about that? And why? Not that typing is bad, but people hardly even know how to spell these days, its pathetic. They'll use spell check, which isnt completely reliable. People are becoming lazier and lazier by the day, and that causes creativity to decline. Creative ideas leads to new products that consumers want and or need, which brings in money. Take out creativity, and you shut down product ideas, meaning no money and disastrous results. But this isnt the fault of technology. It is we the people who are at fault. Even if we're not cheating the system, if we dont do anything to help then we're just as bad if not worse as those who are. And I know, you'll probably ask why I'm not doing anything about it. Here's the thing: One person cannot tackle this gigantic problem alone and expect results. It requires the collective efforts of others along with the one to accomplish such a task.
Actually Ducky is correct. Its that very hatred thats strengthening the laziness that cripples our country. The hatred turns people into monsters, who in turn terrify other people, specifically the thinkers needed for creative thinking. They're scared because those who arent as smart as them feel to make themselves feel better, they need to tear apart any chance of anyone else being happy. And when the good people stand by and let it happen, it sets the country up for self-destruction.
