Newer technology employs people (R&amp;D,Marketing,Manufacturing) and creates new markets. As this process has been repeated through the centuries in many categories, it&#039;s resulted in longer life spans, easier ways of growing food, more leisure time and more choices for how people work and play.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over this time period, gold has remained what it is..which is to say it can be praised for being consistent in appearance and value, but in terms of its contributions to humanity over the centuries, it has contributed very little with the exception of it&#039;s use in art and jewelry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold never eradicated smallpox, drilled a water well or taught a child to read.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
