when you look at technology, you will be beyond impressed of the complexity in our devices and think the human mind is more "intelligent " and even "alien " from all other life on this planet, however,there are still people who have the way of thinking of a peasant in the middle ages,religious to it's extreme,dangerously gullible,uncaring of human progress and of our environment.

I'd say people saw technology as something profitable, therefor paid more attention to it,in other words, greed, Don't you agree ?
thank you for the interesting answers, I couldn't stop thinking about this...
 
Culture requires the unseen to be established on solid ground and science requires the seen to be established on solid ground. When science becomes based on belief it becomes an aberration and when culture is based on the material world it becomes, as we see it today, an aberration.
 
Technological improvements only require the input of a few individuals.For cultures to change, billions of people have to change their ingrained way of living and looking at the world.
Technology has, in fact, made huge strides in changing some cultural norms, but changing people's behavior usually takes lots of time.
I think habit has more to do with it than profit.
 
Are you talking about the illegal but still-alive unjust religious caste system in India? Slumdog Millionaire is the harbringer of hope for the Hindu world!
