No Code, Part 4

 As technology lends itself to the marriage of humankind and the immediate environment, where is the appropriate context to base such speculations? Perhaps 50 years ago, human interaction was more organic, personal, face-to-face. But there was also terrible discrimination and social injustice, such as civil rights, and inequality 50 years ago. If it is choosing the lesser of two evils, I choose the latter. Perhaps an argument might be posed that humankind was better off before the industrial revolution, when things were simple. I disagree. With the instinct to thrive and sustain with a higher standard of living, we can pretty much agree that 80 percent of the population in the United States was fairly miserable a 100 years ago. With disease, volatile warfare, lack of medicine, and conflicting ideologies, we can see that technology has united and informed humankind on some sort of global platform.
