Technology is like a high carb diet. The only real question is if we are smart to know when we have pushed it far enough. And as a "value" question, it is pretty easy to argue that we have pushed things too far by making it soo easy to breed and live to an old age. (except for all the extinct species that is)

This doesn't mean you must be so filled with self loathing that we should eradicate humans with digital counterparts, or any remnant of naturally selected vigor.

But it does require looking at a bigger picture AND in more detail.

This site IS proof positive what folks can do when they put down the glossy marketing hype, put their wallet back in their pants, and understand the low level mechanisms and the operating environment.
