HI Tech

Technology is pervasive and needed but is it the curse of modern civilization?

While technology has brought with it a better lifestyle for some it has also eroded our privacy, our ability to rest and think unhindered by intrusive devices.

The same technologies that bring us the whole world at our fingertips (video and the internet) is also the spy in our daily lifes. Watching our habits and reporting them to corporations, sales organizations and the various governments around the world.

While technology is neutral, those who use it are not. It is the users of the technology that we need to fear, not the silicon and programs that help us in our daily lives.
