Ask HN: What tech has made us better?

1 pointsby ericlamb89over 8 years ago
Advancements in technology continue to make our lives better. What advancements have actually made us better people? I know "better" is subjective, but I'm thinking along the lines of more honest, more empathetic, more kind, generally better behaved, etc. Definitely open to interpretation - but interested to hear what people think.

I don&#x27;t think it has made us better humans, it has made us weaker humans in the biological and physical sense.<p>I don&#x27;t need a powered toggle to roll down the windows in a car, but technology assumed I did, and it&#x27;s little things like that, which make us weaker and lesser than our primitive counterparts.<p>The most primitive self sufficient savage is superior to the technological cube dweller.
