There are so many amazing different technologies out there in the universe today - Silicon based circuit boards, graphene, quantum computers, night vision equipment, super high definition cameras, GPS, space telescopes, hydrophobic materials, super-strength alloys and 3D motion sensor devices that will allow you to control a touchscreen device without touching it.
All of these things are amazing, and there are many more - but what is most amazing is what we are doing with them. Why are we wasting our time, technology, and therefore money on boring, uninteresting things with our technology, like making a rubbish TV series with a camera that could give us a better understanding of the world that we live in or using our incredibly fast smartphones as only an alarm or as a memo-pad?
I'm sure that psychology could give us some very interesting answers to this question, but really, the question is philosophical, and in some ways rhetorical, as it doesn't need an answer because there isn't a real answer.
So I put forward to you this: let's use our technology in a selfless way - to benefit future generations by strengthening this golden age of information and technology before we ruin it by not doing anything about our world's current problems. We should work together to preserve what we have in this beautiful world and to gain more from this incredibly fortunate situation that we have ended up in.
