I found that the assigned articles focused more on technology's downfalls then on where it could take us. For every evil use of technology there is an even greater righteous one, and these righteous uses are part of a greater design. Have you ever thought about how the good things that will happen during the Millennium will come to pass? Will God simply wave his hand and "make it so" or will he make us work for it? I think the promises of technology imply the latter. Increased lifespan? Already happening. Genealogy? Familsearch.org. An understanding of the human mind will allow us to better recognize and control temptations. In the near future I can see us being able to cure addiction by reseting the associated neurons. Could you imagine, one of the Devil's most powerful weapons thrown into the dustbin of history?
