Out-of-control technology is reducing the quality of life - not
improving it. If you don't believe this just consider the fact that
you have absolutely no privacy anymore. Everything about you is in
some database somewhere. In addition to that, you can't go very many
places where you're not on camera either.
when did we have have any real privacy I live near prett antitech folks
and yet they insit in poking thier noss into my busness constantly

with one the local preacher preaching that I am eveil etc I see and all
but endless prade of galkers who in front of the house and watch and
these people don't own a cell phone or pc or in most cases a tv set

what we have lost is th eilusion of privacy some have enjoyed. there
has not been privacy at least in y lifetime for anyone preceieved as
different

Hi Tech isn't all that great when you consider what it has become.
how so?

it allows me to live 15 miles from the nearest town and still know what
is going everywhere I want to know most of the news I don't even have
to go looking anymore I hve told the PC to look and find it

I have my job that used to require tolive in a major urban area with a
much higher costof liveing in both money and having to deal with crime

The
demand for it isn't always there but we get it anyway. Funny thing -
most users don't really understand it, they just know they want it.

Slick marketing creates the demand and the dollar rules.
