You give examples of transitions that happened, but you have made no argument about how those transitions made us better off. It is not self-evident that a change in technology is necessarily an improvement.

Are you kidding?

> Cars

I make weekend trips to the beach and mountains. I can have a nice big house and drive around the metro and visit all kinds of places. I take my family and my dogs with me.

> Internet

The best thing in the entire world. The highlight of my life. My career, my entertainment, how I met my wife. I don't know what you're on about.

> CAD

Pretty much all materials, mechanical, consumer, and industrial innovation. You're welcome.

> Electronic music, DAWs

Dude, most of my favorite music is this. Most of my favorite indie artists only exist because of this.

> Digital

I take so many photos. I wouldn't if it was stupid film. Memories are amazing.

> CGI

Jurassic Park.

Lord. Of. The. Rings.

I use CG in my films.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and wish all of you to a different earth. It's super annoying being around so many negative folks all the time.
