Most of these do seem good, but there are problematic exceptions:
11. The size of new US homes increases every year. Wow! I would opine that this is not good by ANY measurement.
13. The aerospace industry adds billions of dollars of value to economy.
14. Tourism accounts for a growing share of world GDP.
16. More people than ever are traveling by air.
19. There are more cellular subscriptions than people.
20. Less regulation of credit, labor, and business has increased economic freedom.
30. The global satellite industry revenue increases by billions every year.
31. Tourism increases as travel becomes easier.
32. Car ownership rates have hit an all time high.
34. US families are adopting new technology at a quicker pace than before.
25% of the full list is deeply problematical. For the most part these measures represent increased standards of living world wide which while surely good for those where this is needed, is disastrous for planet earth. I am not advocating that those with less continue to have less. The needed positive trends would be reduced use of resources by the usual suspects, and reduced population world wide.
Many of these are measures of economic growth. Continued worldwide economic growth is, again, disastrous for planet earth unless all future economic activity is less polluting and less resource intensive.
#20 encompasses this reality: when it is better for some, it will be worse for others. In this case business wins at the expense of labor and often the environment. Remember what more "credit freedom" led to only a decade ago?
#30 begs the question what are all these satellites doing?
#34 sends chills down my spine. Evidence suggests that people have only so much time and mental/emotional band width. Many new technologies have proven to consume these at the expense of more enriching and connecting activities. Also, gleeful adoption of drone technology is already proving to be a widening problem like a stone thrown into a pond.
Boy do I sound like a curmudgeon. However, it is possible to sound this way while actually being the canary in the coal mine. Future generations, if not the next few decades, will be my judge.
