Bozos, his list wasn't a list of tech. that shouldn't have existed ever. It's more a list of what we can easily do without now. As of right now, we CAN do without coal as a fuel source. It is excessively pollutant and now that we have better stuff we should douse the old and put up our newer more efficient energy sources.

I believe he mentioned only Nuclear weapons as things to get rid of, not all nuclear technology.

Internal combustion we can do without now as well. The only people who should really throw any kind of fit about it are the major oil companies. In fact we're lucky we even have the hybrid engines out there. The oil companies fought like hell to supress fuel cell and other more economical technologies.

Bozos, most light sources in the world are incandescent light bulbs. IIRC Thomas Edison didn't make lightbulbs to heat things up but to provide a decent low maintenance LIGHT source, not heat source. The heat factor just happened to go along with it at the time.

As far as prisons? See my arguments on Internal Combustion engines and Coal. Same idea.

Cosmetic implants. You said it's your body do what you want. He's just saying get rid of the foreign unatural substances you keep sticking inside yourself. We should have come up with technology to use the body's own growth capabilities by now rather than shooting strange substances into ourselves.

I'd have to agree with you on the issue of lie detectors though. But I also agree with him in the fact that they are essentially useless.

DVD's? What's wrong with DVD's? I think an Amnish person sent that one in.
