Modern technology makes things easier to mess up because they are more complicated, for example a computer is far more complicated than a piece of paper and a pencil, however most of the time we would all prefer to use a computer, because of all the advantages, however we also know that there is a higher chance that we will lose that work (if the computer crashes or through a virus, whatever) than if we simply write it down. Things mess up more with modern technology because we are creating far more complicated things than ever before to do in the end rather simple jobs. When things are kept simple and basic things tend to work better because there are fewer places for things to go wrong, after all the use my earlier example you don't need a specially trained technician to fix a piece of paper, what you need is another sheet of paper and you know straight away what is wrong and how to fix it. One of the reasons modern technology always seems to be going wrong is because it takes so much time to fix, because it is advanced and complicated, that or it just can't be fixed, therefore things seem worse, i mean if you tear the note you were writing to your mother by mistake thats not a bad day, and likely you wouldn't care, if your computer broke that would be a bad day and would cause you alot of hassle. It is alos because of this complicating of life that pysical exercise has diminished over the years, with transport becoming easily avalible and common people don't need to walk, due to a creation of more modern technology, there's more demand for workers in the terchiary sector (which is now the most dominant sector) instead of the primary sector (where more physical labour would have taken place), this has cut down down how much physical labour people do, as now they do it as exercise instead of part of their daily lives.
War.. hmm complicated..

well that makes perfect sense, probably more than the original statement did, my minds a little funny at times and likes to ponder such philosophies, the war one came to me as an off cast of the first one, merely another way of looking at a situation that has apparently no good come out of it
