A few years ago I posed this question in my https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/technology-versus-soul-1ff8121a7e8c:

"Does technology serve humanity by promoting the lazy acquisition of attachments versus our wellbeing?"

My notes discussed the movie Wall-e, and I wrote: "Other than medical technology, I often wonder, living in NH with my legs and a bike and rarely using an Uber, if we wouldn’t be better off with a return to the stone age." By medical technology, I didn't mean the problematic pharmaceuticals. I meant devices and surgical techniques. I have had deep brain stimulation surgery for my truncal dystonia.
