OK, John, you are waxing philosphic on me again. We're still talking about whether this stock will make us money or not, right? As to whether technology is good or bad, there's a lot of data either way. One thing that concerns me is that kids are killing kids at ever increasing rates. Can I attribute that to the new style of gaming, which is more immersive than ever, with these massively multiplayer online worlds? Maybe or maybe not? I haven't done the socioliogy studies to be able to make an educated guess. But either way, I'd argue that technology is changing things in ways that matter a great deal. Our kids are spending more time playing computer games than outdoor athletics and I have a host of other complaints too. I also, know that technology is irreversible, except by major worldwide disasters. Once they are adopted, they ingrain themselves like a plague. So good or bad, we still need to decide if we want to invest in these companies or not. I certainly do, because I think we are in a trough and it can only get better as demand becomes ever more pent up.
