Vine Deloria Jr. on Technology’s Toll

With our 2001 film, In the Light of Reverence, still enjoying widespread use in classrooms around the world we are heartened that the film has withstood the test of time. In June 1997, we were fortunate to film a rare interview with the renowned, beloved Native American intellectual Vine Deloria Jr. (1933-2005). Vine is well known for his books, Custer Died for Your Sins and God is Red. We’ve gone back to the vault and created four extended film clips from our rare, four-hour interview.
Part 4 of 4: Vine Deloria Jr. - Technology’s Toll
Speaking before the explosion of smartphones, Deloria predicts an age where humans can no longer separate themselves from their machines. “I don’t think people are built for that psychologically,” he says. “I think it’s gonna blow.”

My exact thoughts every day I drive to work stuck in traffic, stress out all day at my office job, stuck in traffic on the way home, spend an hour tops with my family, study for school until 2am, wake up at 6:30 for a business call with my offshore India team for a side business I'm running, then do it all over again 5-6 days a week, thank God for Sundays when I can feel a little rested at church.

You're right some of us are truly not built for the modern world.
The Victorian era was much better.
