I wouldn't say technology has created these problems so much as reshaped them. People who can't see beyond their box and matrix of prescribed reality, will always face what seems to us like a terrible life. And those of us who can see freedom and who travel and think differently... We do that.
Technology exists but it takes energy and vision to harness it for yourself. Otherwise it harnesses you.
