Henry David Thoreau Reaction

I disagree with Henry because I think with the inventions that are out these days its hard to believe that they havent help people in the everyday life. I'll use the iPhone as an example. This device has changed life in America for the better. Is always use to see everything and anything that is happening in the world today and most of all it makes people happy. New materials that are introduce to the world everyday help in one way or another. Whether it gets you from point A to point B quicker or helps you see how your stock is doing. New invention lets us know what we want as soon as we want it. Thats why i think the more material goods you have today will help you be better off tomorrow
