While I do agree that some people take entertainment way to seriously, I also feel that there are a great number of people who do not take it seriously enough. I want an entertainment experience that will not only allow me to loose the bonds of reality, but to also educate me. That is to say that it should allow me to expand my outlook on the universe and humanity.
There are too many people that are afraid to watch a movie because it will make them think.
"I fear the use of technology that we do not understand."
By this I meant that the manipulation of genetic information is a dangerous art at best. There are so many things that we don't understand about our genetic material. I am in favor of developing the best technological solutions to our problems. But after a while in IT I've become overly use to the issues that occur later down the road when we don't have enought information to procede.
Indeed this is good news however genetic manipulation is not something to be taken lightly. While at the moment this child has been cured what are the side effects of such a treatment later in life? What is to say that this won't spawn some new disease that affects the rest of use.

It seems to me that as of late the chipmakers are like '..ohhh look it's 100Mhz faster than the chip we released last month..' I am impressed by the engineering that it takes to do this don't get me wrong but until the sledgehammer or clawhammer or itanium come out does this small clockspeed jump really count as news?

Apologies if I sound alarmist.
