There's a universal assumption that people will have to adjust to the
rampant, irrational and escalating complexity of a hyper-technologized
society--or fall into the ranks of the losers and the ignorant. This split
is likely to characterize modern life in the 21st century.
"funny"? Well, perhaps... from your POV.
Others may be driven to hara-kiri.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings: Nature's peace
will flow into you as sunshine into flowers, the winds will blow
their freshness into you, and the storms, their energy and cares
will drop off like autumn leaves.
