I've always been a skeptic when it comes to technology, especially
computers and the Information Age. I used to think it was crazy how people would put their total faith into a machine, some even more so than in their faith in humanity. Human beings are flawed, imperfect creatures. I say this in a positive way because if humanity were completely positive and perfect we would have nothing to learn, and life would lose its vitality and mystery. Computers come from the same universal reality as humanity, so I believe that we should look at technology in a similar context. Computers are not infallible pieces of nature's perfection. I've come to learn that computers are great tools for human society. They can be functional in innumerable areas of everyday existence, helping to simplify many aspects of our lives. However, as today I discovered my computer had 'died' after a lightning strike had hit my house and subsequent power surge, the realization came that a complete faith in our progressive technology is simply not practical. I'm not saying that like the Luddites of the early era of industrialization we need to destroy this stuff, I'm just saying that we must realize that like all things in life, technology can and will become sick and die on occasion. Working at an Internet Web Hosting company I have been witness to many of these illnesses, and it has been very fortunate that human 'doctors' have been present to undertake surgery. It's a real bummer when something goes wrong, but these occurrences are necessary in a space-time continuum that is in constant flux. If you are a spiritual person, you might say that there's only one thing in life to have unwavering faith in: Magical existence itself. You might be asking yourself by now, 'What is this guy talking about?' I think I'm just rationalizing the http://www.dontplayplay.com/html/Hum...929/25534.html |

You can't recognize a spammer? This same message (using google groups to search) has been posted elsewhere, and the same "email ID" has spammed different groups on another subject. All reference the same website. |
