> In that sense technology is becoming a feed back loop of society itself.
I had a discussion recently with somebody about how it feels as though the 70s, 80s, 90s had a distinctive style but from the early 00s onwards there appears to be no distinguishing character to the recent most decades.
Their conclusion was that it was due to 'the increase in technology use, less creativity - more sat about consuming media in one way or another'.
I wonder if that's true - we no longer have to suffer silence or boredom thanks to an endless stream of 'content' available to us.
It prevents rumination and leads us to have every thought impressed upon it variations of patterns from the past.
