    Isn’t every technology a convenience technology?

    We weren’t making fires or using levers to inconvenience ourselves.

      If you don’t limit the scope of time, yeah, although I’d say yesterday’s convenience tech can become today’s necessary tech.

      I don’t know, the more I think about “convenience technology”, the more I dislike the term.
