Really Interesting.

Really interesting discussion about how biology affects technology and technology affects biology. Written in 1974, but still proposes valid arguments today. Premise is that man made Western technology has far evolved past the evoloution of our biological structures. Lots of interesting information on bushmen as an example of human biology versus modern (1974) technology. Give a bushman a driver's liscence??? Technology = Tools. Tech as tools to solve problems over time creating more problems. Want to get around faster -> cars and roads -> pollution and harm to human being's health. There is no problem free tech. Some unsupported dehumanization through technology stuff. Sounds like this guy might be a bit of a anti-tech.
