How does Technology enhance the quality of our lives?
When people talk about technology and specifically Computer and Internet, there is a dark side and doubt bias. They are talking about amount of time people spend on the internet and wasting of their time. The problem is they are not mentioning the other side. In compare with which life style these stuff are wasting human kind time?
Go back 40 years ago and you recognize the amount of time people wast on TV; It's flag ship of Internet you are right. Go 100 years back and look at that lonely man that spend his nights in the bars and no body talk to him.
Today I saw an old woman in Starbucks; First I didn't understand why she is waving her hand and staring to her screen. Finally I realized that she is deaf mute and using sign language for talking to her other deaf mute friend on an online video chat platform.

I really enjoy by understanding in what extend this technology change the world. Maybe 200 years ago an old deaf woman, should hide herself in her home and couldn't show up in public till her death.
I am a pro Computer and I believe this trend gradually will improve the quality of human life.
