Hey, technology is not the problem, but the people who use it. TV has = one advantage: If you don't like it, just turn it of. It seems to me, = though, that many people have not considered the use of the power button = of their TV carefully enough to realize its function. Guns can be used for defense against wild animals, or offensively = against other humans. It's not technology, it's what you make of it! = This is the same with almost anything. You can use radio and TV to = bradcast news, or you use it to broadcast propaganda lies (tody this is = called PR). Technology is a possibility, it is through it that you = realize things. Technology is the means, not the cause. The cause is = always human. No gun shoots a man intentionally. Its trigger need to be = pulled by someone. The bullet does not care if it kills someone. The = bullet is not sentient. The man who pulls the trigger is. Perhaps this = is the cause why no gun manufacturer has ever been sentenced to death = because one of his guns had been used for a murder.
