technology vs capitolism
okay so i saw this commercial for the iphone thing where you can talk face to face. pretty cool. we all know we could have had this type of stuff out long ago, but it just wouldnt make as much money as it would to string people along with the release and implimentation of high tech.
so does this greedy money making aspect stem our technological advance as a species?
when the first cell phones came out they were crazy expensive. now you can get them for free. as things become common place they become affordable and then new tech is released for the next influx of mad money making.
wtf?
i know this is totally random but seeing that iphone thing made me think about:
remember when u were younger and they said we would have flying cars and a moon base by now?
maybe im way off base here, but how much do you think the almighty $$ keeps us held back from updating our common technology at a faster rate.
basically if the rate of technology dictated the rate of technology would we move faster rather than the rate at which we dole it out to the consumers?
am i retarded?
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
