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.
