Nothing about blaming technology. It might be an enabler for such a lifestyle, but it's not the cause.

You aren't taking a subtle enough view of the problem. The screen is the great democratic portal. We all see the same things on it. Great books, great films, great porn. It is also a limitless diversion.

Also the definition of the Dark Ages may refer to the period after the fall of the Roman Empire but the period is known for its lack of literature and written history, general demographic decline, limited building activity and material cultural achievements in general which ended with the enlightenment, which is known for its questioning of the church and the ushering of the age of reason. You're kidding yourself if you think Religion has done anything but stifle the advancement of civilization after ancient times (I'll admit it had its purposes earlier).

The Middle Ages were a time of great disorder, but to say that there was a lack of ltierature, or building activity or material cultural achievements is false. Like stupidly false.
