Adapting culture to technology is one thing. But sometimes, technological issues do point out to needlessly complicated things (which is to say, things that are complicated for no other reason than they always were, but with said complication not necessarily serving some valuable purpose). Human cultures tend to evolve such unnecessary complications all the time, and technology has historically been a driver to re-evaluate past choices and simplify where appropriate. For example, the printing press caused many states to revisit their alphabets, and get rid of the accumulated cruft that no longer represented meaningfully distinct phonemes. |
