I don’t keep up with technology very well, so insofar as I’m a slave, I’m a bad, lazy slave. I like to use it for blogging and finding interesting men to talk to – I’ve found a community online that I never would have got together offline. And then, I use online to organise offline – so I meet a lot of people for outings when I used to just stay at home. So I like IT. But I do get your point. My son is sure we’ll all end up with our minds on mainframe computers, using and discarding bodies as we live for eternity. He likes the idea. Me – I’m not sure.

I agree that computers are just tools, and can be used for either very positive or destructive objectives, depending upon who is using them. But I don’t think that individuals have much influence on what direction IT is taking all of us together. Big Corporations now have far greater control of IT and I don’t trust the way in which they are using IT for their agenda. The global financial crisis that peaked in 2008 would never have been possible without corporate use of IT, and the same danger still exists today.

My first experiences with computers in the mid 1980s were not good. Back in the days of those gawd awful black screens with the green print, I watched a totally dysfunctional operating system literally ruin a small business that been a financial success for many years… until the owner tried to run his business with computers.

Obviously things are much different today. Now IT makes possible the ruination of the entire world economy, because what happened in 2008 would never has been possible without the use of high tech.

But I do understand that computers are just tools, and can be used for either very positive or destructive objectives, depending upon who is using them. Which is why some of my negative opinions back in 2001 are still the same today, only worse.

I’m doing well these days… thanks for wishing me well, and I wish the same for you. :-)

You were so right, Chris. I, like the rest of us, have a love-hate relationship with technology. Often hate.

Good to see you back in your space, though, technology has some benefits! Hope you’re well.

I’ve “hit” you for a blogging “Tag you must answer all my questions” game (http://fiftyfourandahalf.com/2013/02/17/beats-the-alternative/). You may answer or not, play or not. I won’t judge you, but thought you might need a jumpstart to get back online. Hope you’re well.

Elyse
