+ | These ideas tend to be fairly polarizing. People either believe that material wealth is either totally infinite (Flat World) or it’s finite and getting close to being used up (environmentalists). Belief in technology as our savior is proposed as a path that can keep our current way of life but just change the components (electric cars, hydrogen economy, alternative power, etc…). Environmentalists debunk the technology as savior idea by saying it is too little, too late. [...] There is another possibility. At the risk of being called a Pollyanna, I think there may be a path that acknowledges that material resources are limited but also recognizes a powerful role for technology in helping us adapt. The basis for my theory is simple: material resources are limited but ideas are infinite. -- Dave Sohigian in http:// | ||
