While there are problems with the use of fossil fuels, the oil industry and what we learned to build from the energy and materials it provided changed the world for the better - far more so than anything related to computers or the internet (and that is a very high bar indeed). You can sit here and complain (in a forum that would not exist if it wasn't for what you complain about) in relative comfort if you like, but several past generations were very happy to be able to eat and raise their children. They were happy to be able to store their food and heat/light their homes etc, etc, etc.
