Larry, your belief in technology is approaching religious levels.

    It's not a belief but and extrapolation. It's a fact of life that
technology is changing us but few seem to understand the social
changes that come with the toys.

     Verne and Wells had different view of how those changes would
turn out. Fortunately Wells was wrong about the Bomb... so far. The
path between may be more helpful. I've spoken about the dangers of
things like gray goo and been ridiculed by some here. Compound
interest is just one part of a bigger picture of how we are not seeing
the rate of change in our world.

Heh, you're going old school on me! Have you read Stand on Zanzibar
by Brunner?
