Criticisms

I guess a bland racist Ammerican criticissm of the middle east is that they are stuck in the past like cave men, not conforming by addopting technology. I just thought that if they reject the development of technology and decide that on a grand social level that things will stay exactly the same from now untill the oppocalypse, on some small level would that be, being Robotic. If nothing were to change people would simple be living out their daily lives in a relatively robotic/ monotonus haze. Surely then change as a ressult in changing technologies (depending on how broad the reading of the term technology is taken) is a major factor in us not being robotic, in beeing critically able to allter our day to day lives. Or something like that?.......
Just a quick brain spassem anyways.... thoughts?
