.. but they overglamourize the job. The CSI people don't do the detective work... they do the crime scene work.
Just like sports are over glamorized and look how many kids are dying to get in the NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL.
I would much rather kids go for the science thinking it is cool and then finding out it really is cool!
"You wouldnt expect a kid to read a book about the perils of not eating their vegetables"
The difference is that you can't really withhold food if the kid isn't at least partially aware of vegetable goodness, where you can take away computer privileges until they become a bit more educated.
Absolutely! My post was supposed to
point out the difference between Sci-Fi inspiring
creation of new and awesome ideas as opposed to
Sci-Fi inspiring dread about misuse of those
ideas. Negative in the sense that it pulled
back on the reigns a bit which, as we saw recently
in the.com fever, will always be needed from
time to time.
I think 1984 is an interesting example
of a negative influence on technology. I know
whenever I read about Carnivore I
have 1984 in the back of my mind.
Full steam ahead with tech but don't
let the government have any of the good stuff.
