Yup...any tech ever developed tends to be used quite blindly without understanding of short or long term ramifications...DDT...agent orange....the promise of unlimited energy...(aka the bomb) the unknown results of so many man-made chemical interactions (beyond count really) for the convenience of our corps and ourselves...cell, microwave, IR, wireless waves bombarding and passing through everything and everyone causing goodness knows what damage for the sake of convenience ...the pop. using and utilizing tech at EVERY level frightens me. Eventuality and inevitability soon catches up. As far as ominous sci-fi warnings go...hell ...we are well deep into it now...have been for a looonnng time...better such a fate...than this brave new world with bright and shining faces...txting, tweeting and selfie-ing it's way blindly to a consumeristic lemming-like cliff-running spoon-fed oblivion with absolutely no regard for those who need help...regardless of what species it is...under a warming sky on a planet with problems that should have been addressed...could be addressed...but still aren't...problems bred from convenience...nothing more.

Just a 100 yrs ago ...looking at today through the lens of the past.....Today...right now ...is very sci-fi dystopian .... It is all a matter of perspective .
