Aleks Krotoski asks why we're always yearning for next technological solution to our problems?

What is it that has driven us to the current, seemingly relentless cycle of innovation. It\u2019s not all explained by consumerism, there appears to be a deeper motivation - as if we\u2019re already half living in an imagined future of ever greater technological possibilities.

Is this how we\u2019re evolving, instead of adapting to the world like other species, we\u2019re adapting the world to suit us?
