whats there to belief lol, its the truth.

It baffles me how many people, like you, somehow can claim the oppossite whilst literally standing and living in the middle of all these innovations.

Like literally every single item you touch is the proof lol.

My issue with your statement is that it's absolute. Not that new products and innovations can improve lives but rather that all products and innovations do improve lives simply by existing.

>Like literally every single item you touch is the proof lol.

Proof that products exist. Not proof all products improve our lives.

Well fair enough, talking in absolutes is always easily countered. However people buy products because it provides them value.

If a product doesn't provide (enough) value either the company switches to different products or goes bancrupt.

So yeah each product that you have is proof that it improves life. But what I am mostly aiming at, is to compare each product to their counterpart 100+ years ago.
