What is this?

"Humans have always overestimated the effects of technology in the short term, and underestimated its effects in the long terms."

Despite its obvious ability to facilitate living on this beautiful planet of ours, I have always been wary of the rate at which "technology" advances as well as its impact on the human condition.

Some might argue that this fear is irrational. Surely I appreciate the continuous and unrelenting advances that technology has made; since the inception of the circle, to the most current blue-tooth. It has always been, and always will be, so what then is there to fear?

Others might suggest that my concern is of the rational sort, an ode to the "good old days" when the neighborhood teemed with jubilant children and food was not only home cooked, but homegrown as well.

I take my perspective to be rationally irrational. Part of a natural human bias is to fear change, be weary of its unknown affects, and appreciative of the comforts of the status quo.  My fear is unwarranted, but justified. 

This is far from my first foray into the uses of technology. My peers and I have benefited from being products of the Information Age. But this will be my attempt to leverage the inherent beauty that comes with the power of sharing information.  That is my goal. To provide smart people a place to share their smart thoughts with other smart people.

I hope to bring you a mature analysis of relevant issues in an accessible, inspiring, and accurate way.

I look forward to brainstorming over a fire, a cup of coffee, a spirit, or any other vice that may or may not be legal at the time of publication.

Please utilize the comments section.  This should be considered a collective. With that, as readers, I hope you embrace the responsibility to share your thoughts. We will all grow from it.
