Hi Felix, There is one context in which Enzensberger's 'cri de coeur' is not a joke, but makes sense, and I am not really sure HME had not it in mind: that is if you believe in the likelyhood of an impending 'system collapse' (cf Paul Virilio's 'accident integral') , in which case all our beloved technologies are likely collapse as well, either gradually or very fast indeed, starting with the mother/ motor of all technologies, electricity, aka 'the grid'. No grid, no cloud, and if & then just kiss your Youtube addiction goodbye. I am still somewhat neutral on this issue, mainly because of my 'Asiatic' history. Yet I think it should be factored in. In my particular case, I have experienced that 'technological restraint' has worked out quite fine: I still don't have a mobile phone.
