Thema: Re: What does it mean when men build a shrine devoted to worshiping a tool? Any new technologies, advanced or not, are just that.. they are tools. They are not gods.

(V): " who says there are only two options? "

I don't know.. who said that? I believe what I said was 'so here are our options'. I'll have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure that's what I said. Just because I was focused on what I believe were the relevant options, that doesn't exclude the existence of options that are not relevant.

I still don't know why you think I was talking about worshiping a shrine. A shrine is built to house something that is worshiped, the shrine itself is not built to be the object of worship. The evidence of what I actually said is what you put in your own subject heading. So lift up thine eyes, and gaze upon what you put into your own subject heading.

" Just showing a mark of respect to someone who helped save lives and 'invented' the ideas behind modern computing. "

I see. So it's not to honor the man, it's just a mark of respect... ?

On another point, is it your opinion that computers are NOT tools?
