And the worst thing is, some humans have joined forces with them now. These humans speak their language, convince other humans that they aren't so bad, and are responsible for their spread world-wide. These people are salesmen. I hate salesmen too, but that's another story. If it weren't for salesmen convincing us that we need all this new technology, we wouldn't have this problem.
Salesmen love selling technology because it is one of the easiest things to sell.
They know that they always have the upper hand, because more often than not the person they're talking to knows zilch about technological jargon. So they bombard you with facts and figures, talk about 'Configurations', 'Multimedia' and 'Interactivity'. Then they talk about how user friendly these machines are, until you're convinced that it would be easier to understand them if you just bought one. It's amazing how jargon can give you the upper hand. I don't think it's because only the most intelligent are chosen.
