fic results in ongoing stress. But is this to say that we should stop using technology? Absolutely not. We must balance the stress technology causes, with the good things that it offers us.

It cannot decide for itself to launch nuclear missiles at the U.S., humans must decide that. We built this destructive technology, we must control it. Technology is not dangerous to humans, humans are dangerous to humans. ...
