"Technology, as a general rule, goes in the opposite direction. It atomises and isolates. If it creates communities, they are virtual and unregulated, and of like-minded individuals. It strips human beings of knowledge acquired through reading and experience, because everything can now be discovered in a disposable way for a second at the click of a mouse, with no need to retain it. It is not usually a public transaction, in an open community, subject to rules dictated by an elected legislature, but a private transaction run by a private company which is not regulated."

Grandly put - but it is Luddite, fear-driven nonsense ignoring the huge benefits we get from technology and the huge gains we will receive in the future...
