Top Reasons People Call 2008 Technology Evil
The other day a Think Tank was asked why do so many people think technology is evil? Perhaps because the computer has been linked to the mark of the beast. In fact, there was once a computer named "The Beast" as it was so massive and had enough capacity to keep track of every world transaction, today most large corporations have such systems, no big deal.
One commenter stated that he believed that people who thought technology was evil in the present period were themselves stuck in a rut and he hinted that if we listen to them, then we are all going to be stuck in a rut, as computers and technology help solve many of the problems known to mankind. When considering this I stated to the gentleman:
I must agree that those who call technology evil, are really stuck in a rut and they hurt the forward progression of the human race. Generally those I have discussed this topic with either come from a strict religious standpoint or have a theory that man needs to go back to its roots, and gathering, hunting activities to better live a less stressful and more meaningful life, go back up into the tree tops so to speak. I find fault with both of these categories of technology detractors.
Unfortunately, sometimes there is a piling affect of people who hear their debates and without thinking accept it as some sort of common sense and that is when the problems start. Technology is not evil and guns do not kill people, neither do inert rocks, sticks or steel swords. Please think on this.

AP - Traces of the industrial chemical melamine have been detected in samples of top-selling U.S. infant formula, but federal regulators insist the products are safe. The Food and Drug Administration said last month it was unable to identify any melamine exposure level as safe for infants, but a top official said it would be a "dangerous overreaction" for parents to stop feeding infant formula to babies who depend on it.
