its strange, we, myself included, tend to think life wouldnt be worth living without all our fancy things, but ive done a bit of research into tribal people.....they are the happiest bunch out there. you find a tribal people without any of the tech wonders we possess and you dont find depression, drug addiction, and violence. certainly they arent idealic, they do get violent, im saying it isnt the problem that we have. there is definately good and bad to our comforts.

Tribal life is not perfect, idyllic, noble, or wonderful, but wherever it's found intact, it's found to be working well--as well as the life of lizards, racoons, geese, or beetles--with the result that the members of the tribe are not generally enraged, rebellious, desperate, stressed-out borderline psychotics being torn apart by crime, hatred, and violence.
