- But it might be nice if we tried to plan it and assert our
- capabilities as rational objects instead of just engines of creation
- driven by circumstance. Throughout history, plenty of people have
- sought to predict 20 years into the future, and in so doing have
- shaped the lives of the contemporaries and children, both for better
- and for worse. Is Mr. Coffman advocating that we just throw out
- political hands up in the air, and get on with tinkering with the
- technology ?
