Regardless of what the naysayers believe about human interaction and social media, the data show us that the abundance of technology is actually increasing the abundance of happiness all over the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really think that technology has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. The companies that will ultimately do well are the companies that chase happiness. If you find a way to help people find love, or health or friendship, the dollar will chase that.
The Internet's a big enough place for everybody to be happy.
If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery.
We know in our hearts that technology at its best should make us feel even more human than we currently feel. Sometimes it makes us feel less human.
I think a lot of the world searches in vain for happiness in ways that will not bring them happiness.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
Technology is growing in all possible ways. It is affecting our lifestyle also.
Perhaps the most encouraging trend is that, through technology, people are realizing how much agency they actually have. Technology has revolutionized the way we eat, live, communicate, socialize, learn, and do. We see enormous potential to create lasting, positive change in the way the world works by doing what we are doing.
I have mixed feelings about how fast things are changing as a result of technology. There's no denying that through technology there are amazing things being created that help people with diseases or help people's dreams come true. But there's also this obsession. Social media is the most dangerous of them all.
Happiness is obsolete: uneconomic.
