Civilized To Death
==================
I remember that meeting that was held in my apartment some years ago.
Some participants could not just thank me for the hospitality, and
shouted every now and then because my air conditionar was not functioning
to their satisfaction. Now, when powerful air conditioners are available,
everyone is expected to have one at home, and you better add maintenance
to your expenses. I started thainking that technological progress just
complicates our lives. 
A couple of weeks ago a book named "Civilized To Death" by Christoper Ryan 
found me on scribd.com. Yep, I feel really civilized to death, and especially
when people expect me to buy a smart-phone and install some proprietary chat 
application in order to communicate because we live in the 21st century.
To summarize the book in a sentence, the book is about the hunters-gatherers' 
way of life compared to that of civilized people. It seems that the so-called 
primitive tribal egalitarian way of life is superior to that of ours in which 
one needs to apply for a job in order to make a living. Better have one for 
which you need to submit a CV or Resume having earned a degree.
It also seems that we have the doctors but they have the health.
So, ignorance is really a bliss.
