Are the technological advancements trully improvements?
The sorts of improvements include making tasks more efficient thereby freeing up time. While technology does this, it is argued that people feel more time pressure from the same advancements, now that productivity has its own constraints and the pace is much higher that is.
Also, this progress is meant to give people more choices, and freedom, but wasting time looking for optimum choice from among the mundane. Is time consuming, and study's have shown that an abundance of choice contributes to depression and possibly other neurotic disorders.
So the paradox of progress asks whether a distinguishable improvement to the quality of life has been achieved, in light of what technology is thought to achieve.
