Have you given some thought to how bad off we would be without the tecnology that allows people to live a life style that kings of 500 years ago would envy? How fast would the people fo the world die off if we didn't have the tecnolgy we have today? all the things you discribe, cell phones, i-pods, blackberries, are just a side line to the real recnologies behind them. Yes we could do with out the small perks but could we do with out the large tecnologies that have allowed such things to be available? Or maybe more to the point how are these things dangeruous to the people?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
