Neverthought film rekindles fear of technology

Posted by Bazlo on July 1, 2003, at 20:05:14

After watching the short film Neverthought (its homepage is at http://www34.brinkster.com/bourquefilms/neverthought.htm ) my fear in technology overtaking humanity has been rekindled. I once had a very strong phobia for electronic devices and technology that prevented me from performing normal everyday tasks that others seem to have no trouble with. I avoided computers completely, but I had overcome this fear over a slow process of integrating the use of technology into my daily routine. Since watching Neverthought, I am still able to use some technology (obviously, this computer) but I am again deeply troubled by humankind's use of technology, especially in the future. Perhaps I fear the future more than anything because I do not know what is to come; technology is overtaking our lives more and more and I think it shall only get significantly worse than what it already has become. How should I deal with these feelings? I've read 1984 and Brave New World and many of these author's predictions are coming true. (I am rather reluctant to keep using computers; I am relying on this machine to provide an answer for the question that I have against it.)
