If you want someone to blame, blame President John F. Kennedy, I was 7 years old and JFK not only set the goal of a man on the moon but the space race had the effect to germinate today's technical progression -- I had little idea that the Jetsons cartoon might become a reality before I died. Space travel required computers to plot the course and control the rocket's systems. In my lifetime the standards and lifestyles of half the population have radically improved while others were left behind.
Those that could grasp onto the future succeeded those that resisted the future and longed for their past glory now find themselves at a dead end.
Should there come a global civil war and the poor eat the rich it would not surprise me. Men burnt witches not that long ago and man has proven himself self destructive throughout history. If we reverted to living in caves it would come as no surprise to me. Without technology and medicine I am dead in a short time so I just go with the flow.
