In the "pre-industrial" era, most people toiled as serfs, died young
of countless different diseases, and basically lived one hell of a
shitty life. Is that what you feel is the answer to modern day
problems? I will gladly take today's society over what was available
in the 1500's or whenever you think humans lived in an ideal state.
You just just gotta love the brilliant minds that keep churning out
those quality microsoft products!!
