A rather humorous view of the wrong-headed sorts of technological "progress" 
we've been seeing lately:

http://www.techreview.com/articles/jenkins0102.asp

While I could see the value of having a cellphone for emergencies, for 
example, in general I've been on the receiving end of enough garbled 
cellphone calls to conclude that I really have no use for one in my daily 
life, even if they did work in Wrightwood's Swarthout Valley where I live.

In fact, I'd be willing to trade a lot of the current meretricious gadgetry 
in exchange for genuine progress in reversible neuropreservation and 
ant-aging treatments.
