You guys are reminding me of a quote I saw recently:

    "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science
     and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything
     about science and technology."
                             -- Carl Sagan

And, I think that we'll all agree, it's getting worse.

TTYL,
