• One of the expressions of Western over-reliance on technology can be seen in the lack of patience in industrial society. When you deal with technology, everything happens at the touch of a button. This conditions you to become so impatient that when you have an emotional or personal crisis, you don't allow time for the solution to take effect. This leads to all sorts of rash responses, like quarrels, fights and so on.

• Cada bebé que nace
  no amado, no deseado, es una factura que vencerá
  dentro de veinte años con intereses, una ira
  que debe encontrar un objetivo, un dolor que
  engendrará dolor. Una década más tarde, un niño
  grita, una mujer cae, una sinagoga es incendiada,
  se llama a un pelotón de fusilamiento, se pulsa un botón
  y el mundo arde.

  Marge Piercy
