Chapter 2

Chapter 2 takes us into this world where technology as we know it has no purpose. What was surprising was that, like the author I was prepared for this lifestyle to be much harder than it seems. I also was anticipating, ignorantly might I add, the people of this group be less intelligent than those from the outside world. I realized that just because their world is not dominated by computers, machines, and electricity it does not mean that they are any less of a human being. Their expertise is instead related to making their way of life as simple and easy as possible. In our world of technology, we tend to replace problems with other problems as Chapter one hinted at. Realistically I think it relates to the adage more money more problems, for our purposes more technology more problems. After finishing this chapter it makes more sense that we have only replaced labor intensive problems with knowledge intensive problems. We still have the same amount if not more problems now as compared to life before technology they have simply just shifted into our new way of life.
