Technology

'Technological advancement' is not some kind of ever-moving-forwards, nobody-at-the-reins, out-of-control phenomenon which keeps yielding new opportunities. For the most part 'technological advancement' involves the deliberate introduction of more surveillance and control from the system while offering superficial or temporary conveniences… which later turn out to be not so convenient.

At the same time, technological breakthroughs or existing technology that is not conducive to the overarching agendas are maligned and suppressed.. or maybe just quietly shelved.
