Fully agree with your observation, sir. Perhaps life should not be viewed from prevailing technology. What was life during the time of the caveman when data was not even there, as we know it today. What would life be in a thousand years from now when data might not have relevance or importance that it has today. Moreover, technology is a throw up from life and not the other way around?
