We all change. The future is emergent and dynamic, evolving with our minds and our society. Technology plays a fundamental part in this evolution, this evolution of complexity. So I ask, how does technology affect society? How does technology affect our minds and then society in turn? How does our economic and political system affect society and technology? What are the products of this evolution – and what are our goals?

    Congratulations America on Your Independence
    How's that "Freedom from Imperialism" thing working out for you?

    seems callous

    No offence meant. I'm sad that America has become the thing it fought so hard against. I just ask "What are you celebrating?"

    That's the TRUTH StuLuminos—what is it about that word that Americans are so not able to understand?
    Independence Day is a FARCE in today's world, more than ever, and we Americans are not represented by our SELECTED rulers—get it!!
    See pyramid graph (below) for those who need pictures.


    There now need be nothing left to chance for understanding that word that is so difficult to process for so many of us Americans!); I'm a smart ass , i know N8, but I will not go quietly for as long as I have to admit that I am an American; and if you have traveled anywhere overseas recently...you will know how humiliating that can be at times!

    I very much agree with you. I just thought this premise was pretty much agreed on throughout the SC. Not unwarranted, certainly, just didn't much get the point. Well response from venusamstar though!

    All of you make it sound like america is ruled by people and that it is the people who are guiding the policy and agendas of the country. Do not blame the uninformed, uneducated plebs feeding off the media distortion and industrialized foods of the american corporatocracy. Do not blame the informed, educated proletariats who are helpless to fight the machine (including yours truly). America is controlled by cartel, conglomeration of banking, corporation, and government subsidiaries that have eviscerated the free, democratic republic of US without resorting to blunt totalitarian regime such as China and North Korea by blinding the public with stupefying media-tainment and pro-capitalistic propaganda. Not all americans are Bush, Dick Cheney, and Paris Hilton. Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Peter Joseph are also American.

    Hey, the fact remains, all you "good" Americans have your ass over a barrel. And still very many of you don't even realise it yet. Yet both the informed and the uninformed have still to remedy the situation.

    I wish you the best of luck because it affects us all, especially in the UK.
