Technology is not transformative; it will be someday, but it just isn't yet.

Transformation involves changing perception, cognition & mental acuity, and  particularly, it involves gnosis.

But our  current technologies are not compatible with these activities.

Technology, by itself, cannot transform anyone, and usually, when technology is involved, perception, cognition, etc. tend to atrophy.

This is why we see so many young people walking around addicted to their phones & their devices, feeding entertainment & social data into their brains.

This constant barrage tends to weaken the brain.

Their faces, in fact,  look like the faces of extras in an episode of The Walking Dead.  They don't  seem to be thinking.  They seem to be reacting only to stimuli as a zombie might.
