Ultimately,
it is true that we live in exciting times, where new i-phones and
other trendy tech devices emerge on an almost yearly basis. Yet
history may show that our era might actually be a slowing in
advancement. Our innovation-driven societies may have lost sight of
the bigger picture, and that is, how have we advanced economically on
the world stage? Have living conditions improved overall? Has
production increased? Are fewer people starving and is there less
disease to contend with? The periods of technological advancement
that are truly landmarks in history are those periods where cultures
have risen above their previous state and entered into a new age
entirely. The true test of technological advancement in a society is
not how many new technologies have emerged, but if these new
technologies have significantly impacted and improved a society.
Right now, for this generation, the jury is still out.
