That's a long time,isn't it? Should we really have so much faith in our
inventions? To me,that's the crux of the matter - that people will be so
overwhelmed by the brilliance of it all that they forget that anything
man-made will eventually break. Only a fool would think that anything good
could come out of trying to restrict technological change, but it's quite
possible to go overboard in the other directon.
