This is a bit too late, but for future reader's reference: I meant "mass produced software", regarding its benefits. I highly doubt that Facebook's ad network is comparable with mass produced pharmaceuticals or refridgeration. Mass produced mustard gas maybe.
The part about our life being better is non negotiable, you haven't had to hand wash clothes if you're saying otherwise.
And that's just one example, refrigeration, mass mobility... Life is incomparably better and saying otherwise is just ignoring reality, in my book ;-)
