Like ALC said, material desire is human nature. It's fulfilling their greed. People used to fight to acquire food, territory, armies, kingdoms, natural resources, etc. Wanting to acquire electronic products is simply one other commodity that is within the grasp of our greed. It's wrong to blame technology for that. Blame the human nature instead.
I asked you to define the spiritual world that you claimed deserves our attention. Your response was that others tried to define 'spirituality', and that their definitions was not satisfactory to me. And then you ask me to search it for myself. That is NOT a good definition. Try again.
You must be god considering how you know what choice I'll make regardless of a very important factor that goes into my decision-making: external influence(in this case, the revelation and answers of god).
I'll give you another chance: define the spiritual world you want me to believe.
Being open minded doesn't mean I'll accept your answer in the very first instance you present it to me. That's gullibility. Your answers will still be analysed critically until all doubts are cleared and it makes sense.

That's the thing about it though. If tech wouldn't go far, it wouldn't advance as fast as it has. Remember learning about the Rockefeller empire back in school and how bad conditions were back then and how people were basically breathing smoke? How much disease there was when immigrants started coming to America in droves and how the streets were full of horse manure?
WHat I'm trying to say is that we're lot better off than we were in the past, it's just that people only magnify the negatives and like to complain. Food right now is actually very clean because of the FDA. We can get drinkable water from any faucet in the house. And the best part is, it will only get better from here on out because we've learned from mistakes.
