Culture is shaped by available and supposedly upcoming Technology. We moderns kid ourselves and think that we're above being influenced or manipulated by that, but we're not. Just look at how swiftly media has changed since the 1960s and how much the moral and ethical dimensions of anything in our lives has been deconstructed on a parallel track. That's not entirely by design, but that's been no accident either. Tech and progress are the new gods that have atomized and rearranged human culture and freed us from Nature's limits and depending upon each other. Have faith in them and they will fill the emptiness you feel! Not those burdensome and demanding provincial personal relationships, civic duties, gender roles and responsibilities, sacrifices, etc., that provided structure and enabled the survival of the species for thousands of years. Nah. Those are oppressive and obsolete now, and it's really different this time. All tech is good tech, so scroll Baby, scroll!
