Our belief intechnology can easily become like a new religion. It's odd to see how education standards are falling at a time when they should be improving. Literacy in the US, the self-titled most sophisticated and developed country in the world (yeah right) is WAY down, what good is a superfly self-driving amphibisphere with blue-chip technology if the occupant can't:
A: relate to other people or be aware of differing cultures/languages and B: care a shit about life outside the sphere.
Extreme sci fi example I know.
