Have we done this already? How do you reconcile the two?

@AkioTsukino We're still evolving. Though it's different now because we can better control evolution due to technology.

@BohemianBoo Technology only makes us stupid. Go back to the telegraph, television, internet, cell phones.

Telegraph was thought to bring peace through improved communication, it didn't. It allowed the spread of propaganda by those who controlled it. The television didn't educate it dumbed down. The internet provided information which was used for more propaganda. Cell phones didn't improve communication it promoted isolation. None of this reflects poorly on technology itself but rather how it is always used.
