A Prophecy

Let technology be a more efficient way of solving a problem. For instance, a obsidian spearheads are a more efficient way of killing prey, and VOIP is a more efficient way transmitting phone calls. Now then, whatever technology exists will spread. No one will choose to get less bang for their buck. The spread of technology is inevitable.

Merely by initiating contact between the Old and New Worlds, whites guaranteed the eventual destruction of Native American society. We have established that the adoption of white technology by Indians was inevitable, and this happened. Horses spread so quickly that they completely transformed the society of plains Indians before whites knew the plains Indians existed. The destruction of Native culture was inevitable and occurred by no intention of whites. Genocide was not inevitable and was intentionally conducted by whites.

Unless you can stop people from experimenting and trying new things, the discovery of new technologies is also inevitable. Thus the perpetual advancement and spread of technology is inevitable. This is my prophecy.
