Kevin.  I've been interested in many of the issues you wrote about for a
long time.  For many years I was a pessimist.  More recently, I have become
somewhat more optimistic, but I still worry that we're headed down a path
that can't be maintained.

As a society, we seem to be banking on the fact that technology will save us
from the problems that we have created for ourselves.  In most cases, it was
through technology that those problems developed in the first place !!!  So
far we've been VERY lucky.  There are those that believe that at some point
our reliance on technology and its ability to bail us out will come up
short.

There is a very healthy subculture out there composed of people who are
trying to wean themselves from reliance on technology and of a complicated
lifestyle.  I'm not referring to the survivalist types either.  I suggest
that you do a Google Search on Voluntary Simplicity and or Simple Living.
Its an eye-opener.  You might also want to check out the work done by the
Rocky Mountain Institute in general and Avory Lovins in particular.
