>the technologies we have created are our seeds
We have seeds already, it's sperm. We're a sexually reproducing species.
We also have culture, crafts, traditions, stories etc that are passed down, which are also seeds.
Technology can be a means, but some is harmful in letting out the worst tendencies it can unleash.
Also the technology you listed aren't invasive or facilitate instant communication.
Cars are iffy because they introduced unwalkable sprawl that separates people. They allow people to get away and run from responsibilities easier.
Instant communication technology is terrible, case in point, even here conversation will never be as consequential as an IRL convo where manners and shared culture are needed for full understanding.
It also allows long distance socializing which leads to neglect of the local.
>8bill retards
If you think everyone is retarded then you have issues. Yes most people go with the flow but they don't deserve to be discarded for it or they'll start thinking more and potentially revolt.
>simply playing around with a fun new tool. we haven't lost meaning, we are hunting for new meanings.
It's not playing around if people are using it as advertising, logos etc so it's effectively leaking into the real world.

You can't trust anymore that anything was actually made by flesh and blood humans.
I can say "ooh cool design", but from now on neither I or no one else can be confident that anything printed at all was by a fellow member of the species. It's beyond disheartening.
I can't play any instruments but I love music, now I can't trust what I'm listening to was composed and sung by humans or not.
I hate it, many others do, and that hate needs to be let out somehow.
I understand the exploration factor, but even the Internet isn't an ideal medium for that, as people just see what they want to see. There's no shared physical space where differing views must collide.
