Technology - a two-edged sword

When it comes to technology I tell everyone I know that "IT'S A TWO-EDGED SWORD"!

While the benefits can be immense, the potential for harm is at least as great.  Not that these technologies should not be pursued, but that safeguards must be built in from the initial concept - something that is NOT being done today.  In the rush to be the 'first to market', diligence to safeguards is frequently sacrificed.

So, embrace technology, but don't go blindly into the future.  Ensure that the safeguards are foolproof, and that they are one step ahead of those who would use that technology for harm, because they will.
