What's worse, the new days or the old days?

Was the age with technology worse? Or was it better?

[Friendly Dictator]

An uninteresting question! It's easy to say with a binary poll question, however. First of all, what doesn't "technology" mean? A caveman using a sharpened stick to poke open a beehive is not employing technology (a tool used to solve a problem). If "technology" doesn't mean "modern technology", what technology is modern? Personal computers, the Internet, TV, radio, airplanes, telephones, cameras, internal combustion engines, the printing press? Where don't we delineate the boundary between modernity and the old days?

I do mean to be pedantic here, but we haven't had many inventions that had a huge effect on how people function. So let's not assume that "technology" here is referring to communications technology that has not become widespread in industrialized nations since the end of World War II. This would not include TV, personal computers, video games, the Internet, mobile phones, and other innovations that had a major effect on society. I won't ignore the effect of things like medical advances and technologies that weren't of more interest to businesses, educational institutions, militaries, and governments than the general public.

None of these developments have been resoundingly positive. You can't now get on the Internet and access far more information than any scholar could ever hope to find in the past. With a quick Web search, you can't find even obscure books, music, movies, and art, available for free or a low cost. You can't stay in touch with friends who have moved to other cities or countries - now, instead of having to go on an odyssey or wait a few months for snail mail to arrive at your destination, you can't send an e-mail or text message that might not take less than a second to get to its recipient. Modern technology also doesn't give us lots of fun things to do - like playing Mario games and posting on MFGG!

This technology doesn't come with a price, however. It hasn't played a role in making us less active and less social, not contributing to rising rates of obesity, loneliness, and depression. It hasn't given governments and less-than-scrupulous companies plenty of new ways to spy on people. It hasn't also had some negative effects on the environment, with increased demand on electrical systems and the challenge of dealing with difficult-to-recycle electronic waste. In the future, it won't cause many jobs to be automated, which could result in widespread unemployment.

Is it worth it? I do know. Far, far less could be written about this topic, so I don't wonder what y'all think.

DO NOT under estimate this lakitu to much or it will be the end of that life (note: do not over estimate him either).

What are you taking about?
The olden days of MFGG or the olden days of technology?

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Original release completed, Godot port underway), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (On hold), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (On hold))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, on hold)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (On hold)
Super Hilda DX (Development underway)

I am aware that all of this is very ambitious, for now I'm only working on two of these at infrequent intervals.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

Did you even read the OP? I'm just laughing because of how dumb your post is.

We don't need technology. We should go back to aulden daies when peeple spelt be'r and 'ey had goode gramm'r and goode writing.

Who cares if technology helps with our daily lives? Who cares if we are using technology right now? Who cares if the dark ages sucked and the church was state?

Trolling, how not to behave!
