Re: well..

[snapppleismine]

at least you are honest with yourself. XD!!!

this class is PSYCHOTIC!!

technology is one of the things that defines humanity. i could be comfortable with that, if only we could learn to be more responsible with it...

[snapppleismine]

I know.......... yarghhhhhhh.

[speakersaraneth]

She's right. And how would you define technology, anyway? Do stone tools count?

Beyond that, try to remember that it does wonderful things too. Medicine, for instance.

[snapppleismine]

Yeah. I mean, I do define technology as stone tools etc. So like eowyn says it is only part of being human. I guess it's just that I've never been so brutally aware of my environment and the technology involved in it. Ultimately, this frustration of mine is a very very good thing.

The dreamcatcher my brother made for me at camp. The only technology that might possibly have been involved was the knife he used to cut the branch (and that was handmade in Spain).

Does that help?

[snapppleismine]

yes. ^_^

it does. my mind is going in circles.

[speakersaraneth]

Minds are tricky like that.

Aren't all tools technology, technically? And metal tools...
