Kings want their technology, in order to be able to exert more control over the population .. be a plastic card, or a electric vehicle . perhaps this is the actual drive to the one world order ? Just a thought ?

The people who make the decisions only care about their quarterly earnings, so society seems to have forgotten the concept of long-term planning or the idea of planting trees even if you won't get to enjoy their shade.

Yeah, I get anxious and depressed about how fast it is going and how little control we have anymore. I long for a time when I wasn't around for.

If technology is the enemy, you've got to understand your enemy.

I knowingly spend a little more for my oil heat. I had a problem signing up for new oil contract online as the software glitched so I just called customer service and talked to a live human who was able to email me a contract and stayed on the line while I filled it out and submitted it.
