Yep. Some people just can’t control themselves.

The fact is that twitter is a powerful tool for instant communication and news.

“The fact is that twitter is a powerful tool for instant communication and news.”

That’s right. I heard about Wendy Davis ‘stand with Wendy’ live on Twitter. I learned the Pope was about to be announced way before the tv said it. You can directly speak to your Congressman and Senators on Twitter and get a response.

Knocking these programs is like laughing at the invention of the light bulb or the phone.

There is a vast, hidden cost to all this meretricious technology.

First, technology has eliminated most manual labor jobs.

And now technology is assuming the role of information provider, gradually and relentlessly eliminating the jobs of those of us paid for what we know.

In the end, only those few who own the technology, like Google, will benefit.

The rest of us will be serfs who will likely revolt to make technology state-owned, so the state can dole out the products of technolgoy to everyone equally no matter individual merit.

That is where this technology crap is taking us.

Can you imagine how this could end otherwise?
