It almost sounds like White Star lines retiring the Titanic.
Space Shuttle: brave idea but mired in beaurocratic machinations. We could have designed better and didn't. We could have built better and didn't. Now NASA's announcing the retirement of a vessel that they can't agree is ready to launch again. Sounds to me like a PR ploy to keep NASA's name in the news with something approaching a positive light.
Disagree. Raising children has everything to do with tools.
However, if you just need to vent because people aren't spending enough time with their children, have at it.
We use all types of things to help our children grow, and they're tools. We also use behavior modification methods, and they're tools. We use tools to cook with, tools to clean with, and tools to pick up the bucket of lard/chicken from our favorite fast food stand.
So. Breathe deep, slowly exhale, and go play with the kids. Usually works for me.

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo,
You can make a starfish one too,
And it's all just hulabaloo,
These things aren't better than they are...
Who needs a hairy swinging star?
Yeah, but the same thing is true with Sponge Bob Squarepants.

I wonder; if the inanimate object had been driven by Linux it would make the independants happier?
In a sense, we've been letting inanimate objects help raise our children for a LONG time, from stuffed dolls to cradles.
Microsoft builds something that probably serves as a monitor, and suddenly this tool is evil.
If Microsoft develops a screwdriver, will people refuse to use it?
