IT makes you happy.

If you’re on a computer or phone you already believe it.  A study now gives evidence that technology increases happiness.  The main benefit is to facilitate communication.  This can be especially beneficial in both rural societies where people live are dispersed and getting in touch with your neighbour/community etc can mean a long walk/drive, and urban societies where people don’t know their neighbours but have friends elsewhere in the city.
