Re: What innovation entails
"Hi-tech" refers to something that is considered an advanced piece of technology. Innovations in this area are electronic by majority, and I fail to see how they can be a detriment to the environment; generally speaking, innovation usually breeds smaller, more efficient hardware, and these devices have less impact on the environment than the larger, more energy hungry devices of years past.
There is definitely arguments to be made about an abundance of technology in the home, and how that affects natural resource consumption, but even here we're talking more about increases in population being a factor and less about the amount of devices in the average household, which, again, have become more efficient with the advent of new technologies. Even transportation is becoming more and more efficient, and soon - within my lifetime, I hope - we're going to see new types of fuels that do not produce byproducts that are environmentally detrimental.
So, on the whole, I disagree.
