In the light of current events, as well as an increasing awareness of our dependency on electronic assistance, it begs the question...
Humankind really is over-reliant on our own technological advancements, aren't we?
My own city of Romdeau fell in part because of the Cogito Virus, which gave rise to the revolt of artificial intelligence. We could not function in our day-to-day lives without entourage and other service autoreivs handling menial operative tasks within the dome. People went mad, lost sheep- it was really quite humbling, how easy crippled we were. How childlike and helpless. Myself included. This world has changed me even in the simplest ways.
Three years ago, prior to my arrival, I'd never really done any cooking for myself, or cleaning for instance, or... so many things. Blackouts would render even the modern day hospital effectively paralyzed, if not for our backup generators.
(This is an awfully ironic conversation to be opening over NV, isn't it?)
All the same, my curiosity is piqued-
Some of you are from ages before the development of computers, androids, networks, lights, motorized vehicles, electronic devices and appliances, digital media, etc, etc...
I'd really like to know- what was it like? How did you live? What was the adaptations necessary, living "hands on", and without tools? Reliant on only face to face communications.
How is it for you now? Improved? Or do you feel as we're all inadept and talentless by comparison, as drone-like as the binary accessories which support us?

I don't think anyone here is talentless, though! I mean, the fact that people have made this kind of stuff is a really special talent in itself. And there are parts about being here that are really convenient, too, when it's not acting all weird like it was.

The capacity for creation and innovation is the strength of humanity. I hate to see the end product do more harm than good in the long run, though.

Well, most of the things at the estate, Gilbert does by hand, isn't that right?
