IOW, if the advancements in quality of life and the increase in healthy
life span through technology is breeding "ignorance", I'll take all you
got.

You maybe right, I feel really healthy.

Except for the repetitive stress syndrome.
The 75lbs I put on while snacking on junk food when I'm playing games four
hours a day on the computer
The dozen mostly empty fast food cartons littered everywhere around my
computer, composting where they sit.
The pile of laundry that needs cleaning but I couldn't be bothered since I
don't need clean clothes to use my computer.

So, in actuality I exercise my fingers and right arm frequently, I'm
contributing to the economy by keeping the fast food companies operating,
I'm keeping delivery boys working and I'm recycling garbage by composting.
Finally, I'm saving energy by not doing the laundry and saving the
environment by not dumping my used phosphate detergents down the drain.

Yup, technology has made me really healthy and a regular contributor to the
living well magazine.
