When Armstrong points to a "wonderful world", he points to clouds, trees, friends, love, & babies. Which are indeed great, but NONE are human-made. I want to hear a song celebrating artificial wonders, such as lights, fridges, voting, stories, & computers. https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/9825539/Louis+Armstrong/What+a+Wonderful+World …

it's definitely easier to dunk on tech and harder to celebrate in a way that doesn't sound cringe
