Hi Tony,
Oh gosh no, of course not!
But by the same token, isn't it funny how the populace has embraced walking to
the corner store for a loaf of bread, instead of climbing up & into the ol'
reliable Dodge Ram...? And how we are all urged now to "eat healthy","
ingesting foods with a minimum of processing...? And how we are requested to
"...turn off your cell phones!" before the start of a movie at your local
cinema...?
One can surely go on & on with even more such scenarios, but the point is---I
think, anyway!---that TOO much of an otherwise "good thing" can, in truth, be
"bad" for you...and all this techno-wizardry has probably already taken us all
well past the proverbial point of no return as radio amateurs, and firmly
imbedded our feet into the fast-setting cement of the "appliance operator"...
