Technology Tuesday
November 6th, 2007 by xformed
Technology, in and of itself, like money, is morally neutral. It’s all in how we use it. For instance, ValOUR-IT, using the computer technology brought to us by the space race, has been lightened and miniaturized to the point that our wounded troops can use it to communicate. The fund drive is still on…donate (button at the top of the page to help you out).
Anyhow, a few years back, I posted about data ports being put into vehicles. Those ports have become much more used than just for the shop to run diagnostics on your car….sit back, do a little reading and see what I mean.
Anyhow, technology, like legislation, also has it’s “unintended consequences” in our daily lives.
Update: Just found this info on EZ-Pass and privacy.
BTW, Fred Fry International is a great site for current maritime (meaning other than naval) news!
