Influences and Effects of Technology

[Salt]

For any really curious, this is a fantastic documentary on the role of technology in the modern world, and its effects on people, business, the military, and society in general. It focuses on digital media, the internet, and personal devices mostly, but it's a good springboard for larger discussion.

Digital Nation: Life On the Virtual Frontier (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/view/)

So, I'd like to toss around some points of view on the pros and cons of our increasing dependence on technology. Everything from iPods to stem cell research is up for grabs - I want to keep this as open as possible for the sake of variety and breadth of perspective.

Go. :)

Yeah, I think the mingled advantages and far-reaching consequences of our techno-saturated society are far less significant than pizza toppings and the choice between swords and mini-guns, too.

I mean who wouldn't? ^_^
