You are speaking from an intelligent perspective.
We still have Aborigines, Appalachia, ghettos of Big Cities, USA, ...starving people in the world who have never seen a fork. Backwards people who don't know what a coffeepot is. Human trafficking, where slaves don't see the light of day...The world is still in survival mode. They don't give a shit about dark matter, universes, plasma arrays and delta quadrants, hexagonal prisms, Cap'n Crunch, jell-o shots, or soft cottony toilet paper.
They are never going to know what even my nine year old granddaughter knows. EVER.
You bet your electric shaver and Diet Coke and tampons there are people out there who would worship a technological anything that they had never seen before.
The Gods Must Be Crazy.
This is the way it is.
