We could do with some elements of simplicity of the Stone Age though

Not all advances bring pure benefits. It is always about a trade-off; I am sure the advance in theoretical education being slightly curbed and putting more undergrads into practical internship instead of just mindless lectures in front of a telescreen could produce more prudent and pragmatic members of society.
The search for "advances" in today's society, unfortunately, seem to be the drive for "something new to sell" instead of something that truly improves our lives. There is nothing like the lack of self-respect for our own race when our propensity to explore is controlled by our desire for monetary prosperity.
