technohell

what is going on around here? first no printer. then no email. then that gets fixed and the server--our fond, familiar Blue Eye of Sauron--crashes and burns. what was it Neil Postman said? "After all, anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a Faustian bargain: Technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. A new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. Sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. But it is never one-sided." --Neil Postman, Oct. 11, 1990
