what the gentleman at 20:40 calls "optimists" i call opportunists, manipulators and profiteers. too many of these so-called brilliant people incorrectly equate technological development to "progress." they can't seem to grasp the reality of how destructive humanity's dependence and addiction to corporate technology really is. for nearly 200 years our writers have warned us of the coming police-state and it seems these people applaud its arrival. go figure.

@GatileoGatilei ... i agree. with a few exceptions like nuclear, military and police technology the problem isn't the technology, per se, but who controls the technology and how the technology is used. technology can definately be used to HELP humanity. the problem is it rarely does. what it does is help our rulers maintain their power and increase their profits.
