If we attempt to block the development of new technology, we effectively have ensured that the most responsible parties will not develop them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many new technologies come with a promise to change the world, but the world refuses to cooperate.
Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.
There is no technology today that cannot be defeated by social engineering.
While many technological measures can be taken to secure safety at nuclear power plants, such measures on their own cannot cover great risks.
If you think the technology is infeasible, you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.
Any powerful technology can be abused.
I think we are always right to worry about damaging consequences of new technologies even as we are empowered by them. History suggests we should not panic nor be too sanguine about cool new gizmos. There's a delicate balance.
There are some problems that technology can't solve.
This is technology that will not go away. And to risk it moving into the hands of a terrorist group like al Qaeda or to other focused enemies of the United States, would have tragic consequences.
Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development.
