Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Blog 4
During the robot video, something I found disturbing was the fact that the man was going to die from a lung infection that in the past would have been cleared up with antibiotics. It is hard to believe that they could come up with technology to download, but they can't find a way to fight off infections that have become resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics. My daughter and nieces have all had to take more than one round of antibiotics this winter to clear up strep throat and ear infections. It makes one wonder if that is where the world is going. There is technology to park a car or transplant an organ, but an infection might kill you.
