quote of the day

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.
- B. F. Skinner

This makes a similar point to one Douglas Wilson made in his talk "Devil in a Blue Dress" in the "Church and Pop Culture" Ministerial Conference, which I've just started listening through.

The technology in and of itself- internet, television, ipod, cell phone - isn't sinful. It is the way you use it that determines whether it is helpful or problematic, acceptable or sinful.
