Well, Jacob, how many people around the world don't have a computer, or have ever seen one? How much of human history happened without the existence of computers? Do you need a computer to feed yourself, build a house, or enjoy a drama put on by your friends?

Obviously, you are using a computer.*

* It's a curious affliction that leftists in the Global North have that causes them to forget about and devalue the lives of people around the world who live lives relatively free of our high tech, consumer utopia. Defenders of industrialism, technology, and consumer leftism cry that they can't envisioin life being different. They scream that the technology critics are advocating a return to a hunter gatherer society, when it can simply be pointed out that there are billions around the world who don't live like us.
