"Are antique stores, booksellers, taxi drivers, librarians, travel agents, and journalists the enemy of society? They are being destroyed by our friend, the Internet." Have you cried for horseback couriers? Hell, there are hundreds if not thousands of industries that died with the rise of automobiles. I suppose it's alright to mourn for things that we lose to history, but I don't think it's right to denounce technological progress, especially when it has given us so much. For all the problems in the world, technology is just there to assist in our own self-destruction. The unfortunate reality is that it is us, human beings, who are our own undoing or remaking in every way; our efforts to do so are just magnified by technology.
