Technology and Human Nature - Only One Key Difference

Are you a hawk...
Technology and Human Nature agree on two common things which drive them on: sex and food. But curiously, it seems the third key ingredient is somewhat different: for technology it is warfare; for human nature it is sleep. How odd...

Peter Nowak's book 'Sex, Bombs and Burgers' details how 'war, p*rn and fast food created technology as we know it'. While William Saletan on his Slate.com 'human nature' blog says initially that sleep must be the most important out of the three. Technology and human nature - how they must co-exist!
