You know, in many ways technical people - espescially engineers and computer scientists - are natural enemies of the social scientists and social theorists. We, after all, are in the business of harnessing nature to man's needs - they are purely and simply in the business of harassing, annoying, and harnessing their fellow man. The more we do and the more we succeed the more irrelevant the shrinks, pinkos, and journalists are going to be. Does it surprise you that they invent garbage like "computer addiction" to discredit us?
