Technological growth raised living standards for many, but critics and social movements also argued it disrupted human autonomy and nature.

The point here I think is: "Some of us survived the 20th Century and my parents and grandparents also survived the Great Depression and World war II. However, the real question becomes will ANY OF US survive this next Technological Singularity?
 
begin quotes:
 
Technological growth improved living standards while sparking major social critiques. Key movements include Luddism, environmentalism, and the critique of mass society. 
Social Critiques and Movements
  • Luddism: 19th-century workers broke machines to protest lost jobs and independent livelihoods.
  • Environmentalism: Modern groups argue industrial technology harms ecosystems and natural health.
  • Critique of Mass Society: Thinkers claim technology controls human behavior and reduces personal freedom. 
Would you like to explore how a specific movement (like environmentalism) views modern technology today?
