Technology itself is not bad, it is the people that use and abuse it. Society needs to look at technology at different angles and realize that there are problems with it. Someone should also start a help group for technology junkies, a field that is forever growing. -- David Rogers (wish_you_had_one@hotmail.com),
do you people really think there's only two ways about this. why does it have to be so black and white. technology is human development and is the outlet for our creative process. to do away with that is to deny us our humanity. but to advance to the detriment of any other kind of life around us is to ensure our demise as well. why can't we have both with some kind of justifiable balance? -- marilyn hillarious (mhillarious@mailcity.com),
You dou's are so wrong. Technology is a double edged sword. In the future I see a person sitting on a couch with his internet/TV with which he can order his groceries, watch porn, talk to his mom and take college classes. He will never need to get off the couch and grow obese beyond belief. But thanks to technology, he can get his arteries unclogged and lipo the fat right out of him so he can start the vicious cycle again. Is that our future!!?? Our eyes sunken in from countless sleepless nights on internet! Wondering what the sky looks like? Wondering when the new version of Windows in coming out??? -- Jimmy Havok (JHavok@phunmail.com),
