The Impact of Computer Technology

“Quite apart from the environmental and medical evils associated with them being produced and used, there are two moral judgments against computers. One is that computerization enables the large forces of our civilization to operate more swiftly and efficiently in their pernicious goals of making money and producing things… And secondly, in the course of using these, these forces are destroying nature with more speed and efficiency than ever before.” -----Kirkpatrick Sale-----

Nature and Human Life Styles

“The capacity to decide that a thing is right when it enhances the integrity, stability, and beauty of nature and is wrong when it does otherwise”

›Do we need electricity and hot water on tap?

›Do we need movies and symphony orchestras? Or, do we need nothing more than food and shelter?

›Do we need an average life expectancy of more than 25 years? Or, do we want long, happy, comfortable lives filled with time for love, interesting activities, and an opportunity to use our marvelously inventive brains?
