Loom-Smashing for the 21st Century

Sometimes I wonder if the world is a good place because of technology, or in spite of it. The further we get to making ourselves lazier, the more we have to think about. The more thinking we do, the more we will tend towards changing things, creating things to perpetuate our laziness, or to change our lives "for the better" and removing the workload to machines, and electricity.

Want is the centre of the spiral, I'd imagine. Everything comes from wanting something, or from never being content with what you have. Is happiness, therefore, the carrot on the stick, to be offered, but never reached?

I think there should be some neo-luddism resurgence. The world outside of the televison and computer screens needs to be re-discovered, outside of speakers and books. If people are still bored when surrounded by all this, why do they need it?
