Normally when someone invents something world changing they don't need to advertise it as it "revolutionary". Never mind the fact that we now live in a world where people value specs and the perception of "experiences" rather than the actual experiences themselves or real world usage.

People would rather vlog or post about their entire holiday for their friends to see how successful they are and what they do on a "daily" (6 month old content) basis. Really ironic then that 1904 Kodak Brownies take better images than any smartphone today because of 120 film. Or better yet, Daguerreotype Cameras from 1841 (yes 1841) being able to record the highest fidelity images possible.

So much for technology. Sure you can access anything you can dream of within seconds. But most people dream of creating tiktok videos rather than creating decent art or anything useful. No wonder suicide rates are at their highest recorded levels and continue to increase every year. Tech has blinded us with the perception of progress rather than actually fundamentally changing people's lives.

Companies have created platforms to control user interaction, skills and creativity, and now most of the population is useless and skill less without a PC or electricity
