Agreed but I worry about our society bring limited by the minds of low-bid Indian computer programmers. By "outsourcing" the way we think to software, we impose constraints on our own minds and thought processes whether we consciously know we're doing it or not.

All things have their use but we're becoming frightfully over-reliant on technology. When an EMP wipes out part of our electrical grid someday (and fries most electronics in the affected area) many people are going to be helpless and more vulnerable than they realize.

You DO realize this is exactly what North Korea is seeking to develop right now, right (orbital EMP / nuclear weapon)? Probably other countries too. If they can do even limited damage to our digital infrastructure (not hard) they'll leave us more crippled than most people realize.
