No. He's not right. Not at all. The reason that you and the other person think you're right is because you're ignorant you haven't studied history and the only reason you sound so confident is because you ate a dunning Kruger sandwich.

What you are is effectively a religious manuscript writer during the time of Gutenberg when he invented the printing press. The machine was called heresy because it would have removed the power from the clergy or so they thought in any case.

Any sufficiently impactful technology will create people like you that push against it mostly due to fear of some kind.

Notable technology breakthrough met with severe skepticism include things like electricity the automobile and vaccines.

There are a very very few manuscript writers left in the world because of the printing press yet here we are nevertheless.

I have this terrible urge to hurdle insults at you but I refrain because I don't feel like dealing with mods.
