With regards to "what was there for them to do?", the GP responded with the most authentically human things. Just like money can't buy happiness, technology can't buy you fulfillment and meaning, even if both can make you more comfortable.

People do that in the modern world as well. Just because that stuff was true doesn't mean the rest is false.
