I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age my generation find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.
People were concerned about national security and that precluded us from having the opportunity to break through on the issues that we cared most about - the economy education and health care.
But my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it.
