As I was I downloading pictures from my camera disk to my computer, I accidentally erased all the pictures on the disk. There were a few on the disk that I was planning to use. I spent a long time trying to undo my error but could not. I felt like a failure when it was human error on use of technology that failed.
Technology has brought us to great heights in the world, look at the ability to communicate quickly around the world. However, technology has brought us to new depths of darkness, look at the military drones and the atomic bombs.
The failure of technology is probably why I am attracted to low tech enterprises, like growing power home model gardens and Air Insulation Resource AIR systems. People I admire, like Gandhi, used technology but did not allow technology to use them.
Some of the pictures that were lost were to be used for the new web page on www.nonviolentcow.org called Resurrect the Rims. My hope is that using simply a diary, history and facts, I can show how depriving youth and young adults from playing full court basketball at the nearby county park would not help make the neighborhood safer. Now I will need some new pictures.
I am using the technology of this web page, although it is simply wiki technology, to talk how the exuberance and failure of technology can make us feel, if we let it.
