Let's not be afraid of the present. Change is good. The technology of suitable rest areas and refreshments on the job has been with us in many work places for decades. You can find it in many government agencies as well. Some public employers are more progressive than others.
Technology is applied knowledge systems designed to get things done.
It is the application of knowledge to achieve practical ends. Inventing new technology is an attempt at finding a better way of doing things. Some societies resist change more than others. In some cultures, the people live in a lost golden era. They live in the past, not the present.
