"Technology is only as good as the human making it."

How true. If that's the case, Bill Gates isn't as smart as I thought. His Microsoft Network IM program screwed up on me last night. Then, when everything was suppose to work, everything doesn't and I get the dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Talk about evil.

Still, technology has come a long way. We may not be living the life of the Jetsons, but at least we are getting somewhere. But one has to wonder. Are we headed in the same direction as Atlantis? Technology was their downfall. They had all the methods to create a peaceful and wonderful nation with nothing but technology around them. Supposibly, they even managed flight long before the Wright Brothers did. Still, even with all that technology, Mother Nature is much stronger. I'd hate to see what kind of ill-fated results that, say, cloning would bring upon. There are already reports of Miss Dolly the cloned sheep having arthritious and that she make me older physically than chronologically. That should be a sign of something. Even television is responsible for the growing numbers of overweight children. Now the arguement that this technology is bad and this technology is good still remains in the hands of who posses that kind of technology. Like most things, it isn't the object that's bad but the person that uses it.
