We have to constantly ask ourselves: are we using the technology as a tool or is it using us? All too often high technology is so distractive and all consuming that it doesn't allow for for the quiet reflectiveness required for deep thought and to do its work. Let us not forget that Andrew Wiles solved Fermat's last theorum (probably the greatest intellectual achievement of our time) with three tools: pen, paper, and brain, because it required creativity, imagination, and the quiet time to allow his subconcious to do its work--aspects of thought which are restricted by technological tools.
