<<Perhaps I am just sentimental.>>

Not alone. Does it say anywhere that better knowledge about ourselves will make us happier. IMO just the opposite.

<I just wonder sometimes if all these things really make people happier. All these time saving devices-are they really improving peoples quality of life? It has to do with how we use our toys, and in general it seems as if most people, and the world in general is becoming more introverted and less social. >

IMO it's the paradigm of intellectualism and materialism within which people keep harping about all this "progress"... from that stand point it's helping tremendously, at the expense of emotional well being IMO.
