Technology: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly part 2

Blog Posted by Ron Flatow: 3/8/2007 12:02:00 AM
What did 911 Teach Us?
When 911 occurred, not only were we asleep but we allowed ourselves to be placed in a state of fear and haven’t yet learned our lesson. We still seem to be following the same pattern. Build a wall along the US-Mexican border? Does anyone remember The Berlin Wall or the Cold War? We are repeating history. We have allowed ourselves to become vulnerable through the use of technology and the illusion it provides. By placing us into a fear state we become more co-dependent. Our true freedom is being threatened by the politicians who try to instill control through fear of loosing false freedoms on its people.
 
How did We Become Dependent upon Technology?
            Technology assists in putting food on our table, clothing on our backs, brings us warmth in winter weather and cool houses in summer, from the washer and dryer, the hot shower, to the gasoline that runs the trucks and planes that deliver food and goods to supermarkets and retailers. All of this from the simplicity of flicking a switch. Interesting though is the trend to quickly introduce new and improved technology that replaces the previous version. Still, it’s most curious that inventions like the everlasting light bulb haven’t made it to the forefront. While we can travel to space and split the atom, we can’t make a light bulb that doesn’t burn out. It is perhaps true that this type of advancement would not sustain global economics and destroys the delicate equilibrium of supply and demand.
This is our wake up call. Take the responsibility to evolve past what you have been taught to believe.
Many people throughout the world experienced deep visions of 911 before it happened. Intuition, deep awareness, or extra sensory perception? Call it whatever you wish.
It has gotten to the point that the time we devote in enjoying and creating conveniences is depriving us of experiencing new levels of ourselves. Becoming aware of our own personal world will enable us to synchronize with technology and not to become its slave. We would be granting ourselves a quantum leap that would allow unimaginable emotional growth.
