I started cobbling simple circuits together before I was 5 and subscribed to Popular Electronics in middle school. I loved following technical innovation, although I feel it is measurably used to control us more in the century than in the last, when each innovation felt like pure empowerment. I think that's more that just me getting old, though I now that the latter is part of it. Anyway, I see more readiness to rush to a technology just because it is new irrespective to weather it is proven to be better. Electronic voting machines is one example. I still fill out my ballot with a pen, and the nice thing about paper is that it leaves a trail, of at least a chain of custody. If a bank gets fiddled by electronic thievery, an audit will show the money is missing. If secret virtual ballots are fiddled, that could be hard to even discover.
