How did we go from Javascript to global warming? Holding back technology so others can catch up is foolish. Where would we be if we followed that philosophy.

How did we go from Javascript to global warming? Holding back technology so others can catch up is foolish. Where would we be if we followed that philosophy. We have long passed the ability of the human mind (at least unaugmented) to keep up with technology. Sure, there are problems for some. But they are insignificant problems for others. I'm generally of the opinion that you should give people the freedom to choose rather than forcing things on them that are against their interest.
