Technology: The Cause And Solution To All Our Problems

from the save-us-technology dept

There's a great Homer Simpson quote where he announces that alcohol is the cause and the solution to all our problems. Suddenly it seems that technology is the same way. Now that the economy is looking a bit beaten up and technology companies are shouldering a lot of the blame, here's an article saying that Greenspan is looking to technology to pull us out of the economic slowdown. As I said earlier today, technology is just a tool. How you use it determines whether or not it's good or bad.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Homer

    I agree with the first part of your posting where you say, "There's a great Homer Simpson quote where he announces that alcohol is the cause and the solution to
    all our problems." This is one of many great Homer quotes and people should be quoting this learned (pronounced, learnd) man more often. Now what was the rest of the thing thingamathang you were talking about, anyhow, I agree, there's a great Homer Simpson quote.
