Stop the world. I want to get off.

I'm tired of technological change. Can we just be modern day menonites and leave things alone. We'll have zippers and LED lights but do we really need driverless cars, cloning, drone deliveries, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality? It just seems like it's a loosing battle. Like paddling down a rapids that has a waterfall at the end of it. A smarter man would get off the river and portage.

Big argument on here yesterday about movie companies switching everything to download and ending dvd/blu ray players/recorders.
Arguing that they retain the right to continuously charge for anything you want to watch but ironically already own

@Picklebobble2 Ah, the Disney DivX platform of the 90's, purchase one of their proprietary hi def DivX DVD players and their discs, get to play it as many times as you want for 48 hours, any play after that was like $5.00 each time. Parents of young children sued Disney after they saw their bills.
