That is funny!

 "By 2020, the people left behind (many by their own choice) by accelerating information and communications technologies will form a new cultural group of technology refuseniks who self-segregate from "modern" society. Some will live mostly "off the grid" simply to seek peace and a cure for information overload while others will commit acts of terror or violence in protest against technology."

Will disenfranchised LoTeks wreak havoc on society? Comparing future anti-technology vigilantes to modern day "eco-terrorists," Internet education expert and poll respondent Ed Lyell pointed out that "Every age has a small percentage that cling to an overrated past of low-technology, low-energy, lifestyle." Respondent Thomas Narten, a member of IBM's Internet Engineering Task Force, believes that "by becoming valuable infrastructure, the Internet itself will become a target," and FirstGov developer Martin Kwapinski feels that "random acts of senseless violence and destruction will continue and expand due to a feeling of 21st century anomie, and an increasing sense of of lack of individual control."

The 'Ecoterrorist' label just won't come off, even when most of the violence in our world is created by Political Manipulations, Resource Mismanagement and Denial of Education.  But 'The Feminazis' will make a way better Wes Craven film!

Low Tech for me, living la vida techie requires 60+ hour weeks, ask any techie and they'll tell you that, and the surmised techier future would involve even more hours to pay for the overhead. Overhead is what your average Amurrikan takes a 2nd job to pay for, the new SUV, the McMansion, new computer every year, extra training classes to keep the job that 0wns them like a slave.... wait, they are a slave!

So, just continue the present trend..... people even more overworked if they want to suck on the tech tit, maybe that drug that allows people (soldiers) to be somewhat effective without sleep will be perfected, hell, it may be required as a condition of taking a tech job..... sure you'll be a dissociated zombie who dies of whatever that sudden overwork-death the Japanese sararimen die of, but .... you'll be a techie!!

Nope I'd much rather be a H.G. and get to spend hours watching ants drag a dead moth up a tree trunk, like I did when I was a kid. We were meant to be barefoot and a bit smelly and have lots of free time.

I know a plant by sight, not by name that makes a smelly human seem fresh as a spring rain.  There are things out there that you can use to never be smelled by your prey as you walk or run them down.

The Hunter Gatherer has a bit more time spent doing the things that make his life easier, but you do get to spend it with your kids and family most of the time.

And the mortgage company will only be too happy to take a cut of the food profits to keep you in a fine lean to and let you have hammocks for a cut of the dried meat a week.
