Technology And Morality

This is part of a MSNBC article about the possible effects of technology on morality:

 “Heavy reliance on a rapid stream of info snippets through television, online feeds, and social networks may cut down on the time required for feelings of admiration or compassion to sink in fully.”
Another researcher, Immordino-Yang, put it another way: “If things are happening too fast, you may not ever fully experience emotions about other people’s psychological states, and that would have implications for your morality.”
If you are one of the many who think they are addicted to a certain website and wants help for rehab, KeepMeOut is a good start for digital detox. Digital stress is no joke. But technology is only evil if we allow it to control ourselves.
