Amen! Thank you Mr. Walker.
Technology is no more bad/inappropriate or good/appropriate than automobiles, baseball bats, alcohol or guns.
Automobiles and alcohol are involved in killing and maiming more people than baseball bats and guns. Does that mean that automobiles and alcohol are less appropriate than baseball bats and guns?
Isn't it curious that there one "good" and one "bad" thing in the "inappropriate" and "appropriate" categories?
