The notion of reverting back to primitive life is adverse to human evolution. Technology or industrialization is NOT the problem. Tech is THE solution, balancing nature & advanced human living.

The Monetary System of econ, requiring the advent of the "next product" for the sake of maintaining market share & profit, is the problem. It's perfectly possible to make ONE product (let's use the cell phone) that does everything & lasts 100 years, but there's no product turnover in that scenario.

i applaud his efforts to make us more aware of our pathological-like levels of consumption and waste; however, he's seriously deluded if he thinks there's any such thing as "greener gadgets." industrialization is inherently wasteful and dirty, regardless of the products being produced. the only real sustainable solution is to eliminate industrialization altogether and return to a way of life where everything is done manually, or with the help of lifestock.
