Society's Reactions to New Technologies
Check out this great
article in today's
USA Today about nanotechnology. Kevin Maney points out how our reactions to new technologies as society follow cycles. He points out how important the "naysayers" about a new technology are, and that, even when maybe they seem a little wacky, they should at least be listened to. A great followup to the article is
this news story in the LA Times on legislation regarding the use of RFID on people.
As a Christian, I feel that we
must stay informed on these issues. To misuse a technology and then claim ignorance later is unacceptable.
