It's going to be an arms race for some, and open arms for others. I
think a sheaf of strategies and solutions, if not a spectrum, is
healthy.
More people should adopt technology more mindfully than they seem to, I
think--but I don't know how to do that for anyone other than myself, and
I don't have a perfect track record by any means.
Some people boggle to discover that many Plain Folk in Pennsylvania have
cell phones. This is because they think the Amish are luddites, when
they are not. They are, however, very selective about the technologies
they adopt. More power to that, say I.
I think secluded glens off the information superhighway are a fine idea,
even if some of them have razor wire around them. If you can keep 'em.
