A Trail of DNA and Data

I believe when Saffo would answer a critic, he would state that he wasn't trying to say that technology should be outlawed. Just that even though technology is advancing, its not always the absolute best thing. Their can still be flaws and things that go wrong, that end up taking a turn for the worse in the end. With technology advancing and moving forward, in a lot of ways people are losing privacy in many ways.

Having never met Paul Saffo or read any of his works, I feel somewhat out of my element by trying to describe how he would answer a question. However, I myself would be inclined to answer that technology shouldn't be outlawed, but merely advanced with caution. With every advancement in technology that improves our lives, our lives also take a turn for the worse. With this latest bit of DNA technology, sure our lives may be better protected from disease and criminals, but our freedom of privacy takes a major hit. Once we start surrenduring our freedoms, it is a long slippery slope that none of us want to go down.

I believe that Saffo would answer the critic by telling him that he is not for the outlaw of technology, but that he is just simply trying to get others to realize that the advancements made in technology today may be innovative, but they are not flawless. His main point in this article is to magnify the fact that just because our world if becoming more and more technological, doesn't mean that it is becoming more perfect. Crooks will still find a way to beat the system, no matter how advanced it becomes. So technology is not always the answer to our problems.

I believe Saffo would answer by saying that he was not writing this to stop technology. He would say he was writing this to inform people of what could happen if this technology comes out so they could prepare and be safe. He knows that this technology will come out eventually there is nothing he can do about it but warn the people of what will possibly happen.
