Technology is evil...

Imagine my horror at a colleague's proud boast, "I don't have a mobile phone, and I can't see why anyone would want one."

This came up during the lunch break for the PD session I was given the opportunity to facilitate (which I first mentioned here). I felt like I was talking to people who didn't get my technology addiction and who had very little idea about the depth of technology's integration with our society these days.

How do we encrouage people like this to see technology as a positive and not some sort of evil "ruin" to society?

Anyone else ever feel like they're getting lost in the increasingly tangle of 'stuff' as education struggles to comes to terms with technology?
