Newsletter: NetFuture
Technology and Human Responsibility
NetFuture is an electronic newsletter with postings every two-to-four weeks or so. It looks beyond the generally recognized "risks" of computer use such as privacy violations, unequal access, censorship, and dangerous computer glitches. It seeks especially to address those deep levels at which we half-consciously shape technology and are shaped by it. What is half-conscious can, after all, be made fully conscious, and we can take responsibility for it."

~Technology and responsibility are rarely paired in print.
I'm reminded of "Give-a-hoot, Don't Pollute!"; as if here on the edge of America's rust belt the market-driven consumer choices individuals make and the daily routine me and my family follow can change the world!
I can't tell if NetFuture is for affluent aging new agers (New Aging!) or if it offers a broader critique, anyway there's a lot here.
