I'm not a "prepper", but was raised to prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. That said, I think it's a bad thing when we lose older knowledge and skills. Mankind lasted for thousands of years without modern technology. Problem is, if there were some cataclysmic event nowdays, how long would mankind last then??
The other problem I see with such rapidly advancing technology is that the vast majority of the time, it's being pushed by purely monetary reasons, without regard to any consequences that may come about. I'm sure the inventors of cellular phones did not intend for people to talk while driving. Then as mentioned before, newer technology comes about and then texting becomes the bad "in-thing". Now you have people driving while watching videos, sporting events, soap operas or other on their smart phones.
I don't have a problem with advancing technology, so long as people are (for the most part) responsible enough to not abuse it.
