When I was recently facilitating a creative writing workshop (there's a post on that coming!) We spoke in great depth about the luddites. (The original ones, not just dull people) - and it was fascinating. We've got a populace of people who are trending toward luddite-ville when it comes to technology.

I pause to wonder if we will have digital iconoclasts, or whether they're working their way through things now, unknown to us. The fragility of global IT infrastructure and how much it empowers our modern way of life is something most people are (probably thankfully) not aware of.

And back to technology: It's accelerating so rapidly now, and faster each day. Developments are being amplified, and I do not see us as a species heading toward good anytime soon.
