I don't think any new thing can better your life. No material thing can better your life, only you can beter your life with your spiritual growth. Happiness is something inside you and cannot be bought or induced by material.

Better your life in what way? To leave you empty in yourself and wanting more? It's because people are so obsessed with material things and collecting stuff that they neglect and hurt other living beings. The empty, famined spirit is the beginning of decay.
Besides when you're on the internet on a computer, it's a little ironic knocking new things.

I'm using a computer, yes, but I'm not obsessed about it the way many other people are. Also, I've only recently realised the negative aspects of technology and I'm trying to get out of it, but it's difficult when you're born into a system. I don't think there's harm in trying to get people to re-think their lives in terms of the technology they use, do you?
Meh.. you say new things couldn't better your life. I say they can and have. You say how and in what way. I say medically and scientifically. You say something vague about spirituality. To which I reply you probably wouldn't be alive to ponder the spiritual if not for scientific and medical advance.

Damn! You're right - I would not have been born if it wasn't for Cesarian section! Ok, but what's your point? Maybe the world would have been better if some people weren't born.
