Rather, he suggested that people must discuss and work together to avoid the potential negative consequences of technology. As with any children he sees the role of parents as letting them go their own way eventually. Apparently this relationship has held constant for many years. However, since the cost of electronics is decreasing faster than the cost of building large radio dishes, the current trend is towards building arrays of small radio telescope dishes that are electronically interconnected to form one powerful telescope. Bad guys will get the technology anyway.
Technology can save lives.
He pointed out that the human brain has something on the order of 10 to the 12th neural connections, each of which can process information in about a millisecond. Brain-Second, which has a computational power of 10 to the 15th operations per second. Whenever you can, for as long as you can, meditate. A mind or organism encountering new information from what it is used to doesn't question the source. That may be an empirical 'science' precept now, though I've always been happy realizing it as a sentient organic living phenomenon instead.
