True, we are lucky to have the opportunities we do; but does that mean we should or shouldn't take advantage of what we have? Also, an addition to your point about religious groups using cassette tapes. Yes, it's quite true that fanatical groups use tapes to quite good effect. But, so do more moderate groups. My mother became introduced to her Jain guru via the medium of cassette tapes, and, while he is extremely spiritual, he is not an extremist, nor is he a fanatic... of course I'm just making minor points, but, since you referred to my podcast, I thought I should... ;) Great job on the blog, by the way! It's great. I like the way you tackle the different issues... Good point about the priveleges inherent in advanced technology.
