Evil Technology?

Are advancements in technology to blame -- or is it our ability to decide what to do with those advancements? While our capability to move forward in our virtual world advances, our ability to make thoughtful decisions seems to be declining. One wonders where the "turnaround point" -- or the "breaking point" -- will be. The next generations down the road will have amazing technology at their fingertips, but will they be philosophically crippled? But I see, as I write it, that my own stance here lacks hope. Every generation has its artists and we can hope that perhaps they will save the future world. For now, it's ours to enjoy, after all. Let technology whirl about us. We can rein it in, make it work for us -- and still honor ancient connections. I am typing on this blog instead of sending a letter -- and I am tremendously enjoying the immediacy of communicating with you all.
