The tractor is a factor. The first machine that began the decline of rural areas and the consolidation of population into cities.

Whether people believe it or not, as a species we would have been better off if we still worked the land by hand in some ways. Imagine if every high school student had to work on the "school farm" for 2 hours a day along with their lessons. School lunches could be local and organic, coming from the labors of their own hands.

And if we eliminate computers from classrooms and focus on experiential education, do you think our kids would be smarter?

You can call me a Luddite if you wish. But i use my technology sparingly and with caution.

Technology is merely a tool.
