For those of you interested in this problem/situation, I whole heartidly recommend a book called "the axemakers gifts" I forget the name of the author. The book deals with the subject of responsibility with new technology, are we as "axemakers" responsible for giving someone an axe and they consequently going out and loping their hand off?
Another good book on the Subject is "Future Shock" by Alvin Toffel I believe, he takes the concept of a person going into a sort of shock when they visit a new and totally foreign culture. He examines the issue that more and more technology is changing society in such a way that some people are finding themselves in completely different world. A Brave new world indeed... .
I don't know if this is entirely true. I have heard some of this information on previous occasions in an Anthropology course that I took. Check it out for yourself. Was St.Nick a Hippie?
