Thank god for hackers-they will save us from ourselves. If only their efforts can be molded into an art that the general public can appreciate.
Why does our civilization want more, More, and MORE? Why is Moore's law?
Why do we exceed the human parameters of perception and sense? In this light, it seems that nanotechnology will fill the bill. But at what point will we cross the line and lose our humanity.
