Marketing Technology

Recently have been arguing with some of my friends over how our countries are being slowly and steadily geting victims of 'market' economy for Technology.As one could easily see, if there are products they need market to sell and this market is nothing but people...to sell a product a need is most of the time artificially created by the very sellers..but all these are unknown to buyers and they simply 'thank' these sellers...not known to the ill effects of these technology..
Its so sad to see especially when these people are someone who had a glorious past and whose forefathers built temples which stand tall and strong even after 1000 years...and they have many scriptures of wisdom still preserved...
Anyway..while looking at the Kigali streets and how its people hand pick and clean those gardens or with a brooms or simply a knife to cut weeds...its so wonderful just as Mahatma Gandhi adviced India's vast population not to depend on technology which will take away jobs and create other evils(environment or social) or as adviced by Kanchi Mahaswamigal to assemble infron of the temple and clean every week-ends...but I guess our people whose education is from the 'western' influence will want to have the 'technology' imported to bring machines and chemicals and polythenes and what not, all possible technology and then claim to clean our streets? not realising how much of damage we are bringing to our own and future generation....
We must realise where to have the technology and where not...and I remember during a class discussion, the Professor asked a question, 'What happens to family when it depends on technology instead of family members inside kitchen'...I quickly gave the answer as 'Break up of family', and the Professor said, 'Erosion of family'...yes the 'Technology Erodes the family and breaks it up or just that family is no more there' and thus Science,Technology and Society its start up as a discipline in western countries itself is a clear proof that they have realised to some extent the damage the technology has done on society...but just as the Professor lacked courage to write in words what she said, and instead spends millions and millions on do research...the west is never going to accept all the damage this science/technology has done...it needs a spiritual flood which shall clean the minds from its dependency on matter....untill then the marketing of science/technology will continue and the damage only spreads to the rest of the world? Is any Indians listening...for here people if they want with genius brains could turn the tide at any moment...who knows....but so far we see only that they continue to be under the 'hypnotic' education they had received for 200 years....
