I rather agree. Technology is supposed to be an augmentation of out capacity, yet it too often seems to be driving us.
I also sympathize with your opinion of Facebook. I feel Facebook and its ilk seems to have damaged out capacity to communicate and understand, by too often getting in the way, and filling our lives with garbage.
Great post! This is why I like "Colossus" so much. It's about man solving a problem with technology and then being subjugated by it. The twist is I am alone in seeing the ending as positive, where man is incapable of making war anymore and problems are solved rationally rater than politically.
