I'd say that simplicity necessarily goes hand in hand with BETTER technology, not more technology. The goal of technology is not to saturate a people to the point of automation. The goal of technology is to be streamlined, abstracted, and elegant. The rest of what we call technology is just elaboration. I say strip out the excesses of the system, and begin by looking into smarter, cleaner technologies, not necessarily more technology. Quality over quantity to be cliché.
