Technology in the Last Century

[Redz]

Has anyone read Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy?

Written in 1950 Asimov's theory was that humanity's greatest accomplishment was in miniaturization of their technology. The future was in the miniaturization of nuclear power.

Strange how anything that gets invented by mankind sometimes starts huge and then gets smaller and more useful to an individual person.

Think how big the original cell phones were, televisions, computer main frames, engines, clocks to wrsit watches, cameras, etc. Asimov was so brilliant.  

Only read Dune.  Might be time to dig back though.  Been searching for something good to read.

I am not against technology, I am a proponent of it. But let's not just advance materials...let us advance thought and treatment towards our fellow man/woman.

And let us not forget the basics/fundamentals.
