Erich Fromm doesn't seem too happy with the modern world, or technology, or the way it's changed the relationship of man/woman to work.
And thus I remembered an awesome song, which deals with this same issue. Wolf Parade's "Modern World."
Here are the lyrics:
I'm not in love with the modern world
I'm not in love with the modern world
It was a torch driving the savages back to the trees
Modern world has more ways
And I don't mention it since it's changed
While the people go out and the people come home again
It's gotta last to build up your eyes
And a lifetime of red skies
And from my bed saying you're haunted, hissing in my bed
Modern world don't ask why
Cause modern world will build things high
Now they house canyons filled with life
Modern world I'm not pleased to meet you
You just bring me down
* If you liked the song during break, it was by Ratatat. Here's another song, "Seventeen Years."
