Techno geekery is here to stay

Heeellloooo,
I read an interesting article not too long ago. It claimed that eventually people were going to discover a hatred for all thinks electrical and that we will all stop using them and go back to the good old days of communicating through baked bean cans and believing that TV is some kind of foreign disease.

I cannot remember where I read it, but I can remember what I thought...What a load of complete air head rubbish. My first question I thought if i was going to ever speak to the person(s) who believed this would be 'Why'. Why would we stop using loads of really cool and interesting technology that has made many peoples lives easier and probably better.

They also claimed that unless we stopped using 'copious' amounts of technology our brains would melt into a pool on the floor (or words to that effect I'm sure)...OK, I don't see the population of Tokyo suddenly drooling into their keyboards in one of the most technology filled places on the planet because the iMac got warm.

Another question I would ask is that who would want to go back to a time without technology. And then I realised that its always been around us. We, as human beings never stop trying to make life better for ourselves...It also seems that no matter how much the green lobby get stressed about all this electricity being used etc, everyone is getting more and more powerful machines as everyday items.

I am in no doubt that most people are quite happy just to have Sky+ record their favourite show and that they can go on the internet to do their shopping and chat to friends. Not many people, like what I did all weekend, attempt to get a PlayStation 3 working as a PC (hey it was a slow weekend). But whether you are a complete techno freak who feels naked without a PDA in one hand a internet connection as near to their brain as possible...or somebody who gets scared of freeview boxes, we all get something out of technology.

I find the idea that most right minded people would give everything techno related, up ridiculous to be honest. I currently have a song playing that was no doubt put together on a computer, I'm writing this by sending data from the keyboard to a PC which then is inputting it into a text box using some kind of internet script (or summat like that). And at the moment thats the way its going to stay.
