Knowledge Precedes Proper Use

Since the dawn of the computer, technology has never stopped growing.  Debates rage whenever a new technology comes onto the market.  Is it safe?  Is it wholesome?  Most of these technologies can be good for us if used well, and damaging if used poorly.  Many times, these technologies come with a steep learning curve.  Many are daunted by this and simply don't use them.  As a result, people become skeptical of technology.  They find the excessive use of technology wrong, antisocial, and damaging.  Granted, if used poorly technology can be wrong, antisocial, and damaging; but so can sticking your nose in a book or writing everything down on paper in excess.  Education is the name of the game.  We need to proactively learn as much as we can about all these new technologies that emerge.  How can they benefit our lives?  How can they be used poorly and harm our lives?  If we learn all we can about technology, we will find our lives will be enriched by it.
