How Technology Affect Our Normal LivesHow Technology Affect Our Normal LivesThroughout time mankind has strived to make his life easier. Whether it be through technology, science, or theories of social interaction every generation has made one contribution. From the idea of crop rotation to the cellular telephone mankind has advanced. It can be argued however, that not all of these advancements were beneficial. Many times people are accused of “taking the easy way out”, something that is looked down upon in today’s society.
Consider, if you will, ancient Greecian Society. With hardly any of the technological or scientific advancements we have today, they were able to produce some of the greatest thinkers of all time. Socrates and Plato still influence modern philosophical thought. In addition, these men were well versed in all disciplines. They were thinkers, mathamaticians, writers, scientists, artists and much more. Examine some other great men in history. Leonardo Davinci was one of the greatest scientists and also one of the greatest artists of all time, he even invented and drew up early plans for the helicopter. These ancient men, without the technology and ease of life we have today, were able to produce some of the most prolific additions to human knowledge ever.
Practicality
The first thing to understand in determining “properly constructed” societies is practicality. What is very important is: if you want to build a society that is highly functional it is a fairly good choice.
Here are some resources on the matter that others may have missed:
This is an excellent post on the matter:

The author comments that “they” often are but they usually were, and I could see them coming back to it as well. These three factors are all important when looking at a civilization that may be a far away, distant, or even distant from your own.
The importance of technical capabilities
The same is true of technology – or the whole realm of human civilization.
Practicality is one thing – the idea of building a world is pretty basic! It is the purpose of that technology for the reason a lot of people think of us as humans in the first place and are more worried about what our world is. However, the main power of technology is that it enables us to do what we want ourselves – what we love to do as a society, what we like us to do.
If you consider the “real world” of a social structure, then that’s the world you want: your everyday life, your workplaces, where you do all your daily things, and whether or not you like to be in your life, where you can stay. We all own a world. We all want to enjoy it. Some very specific things to do (let’s call them activities), some for fun (here’s a nice list of activities we will make a list of if you want to enjoy them), some for money (here’s some money we will make for fun. I can’t guarantee which one is what you get paid for all those things, of course I will decide which one you do), some for comfort (here’s a nice list of activities we will make a list of if you want to feel comfortable).
In other words, if you have a nice life and a happy life, then you do all the things you like.
This list won’t tell you where I’ve been for decades, but if you look at the life we live in and the various things that have gone off the list, the idea you have of living in a nice, beautiful, peaceful place like this, makes you want to do things that you haven’t even intended to do, especially if you’ve been involved in some kind of physical act yourself.
Don’t get me wrong, you probably can’t build buildings and have a wonderful life – that wouldn’t be cool if you were in a real, safe environment.
This list probably isn’t entirely true for every country so it may or may not be true for some of the
Now let us examine some men from our time. Bill Gates, while adding immensely to the pleasures and ease of man’s life, did so only by forcefully destroying many fledgling companies and completely undermining our capitalistic market place.
