And in addition we need to be aware of the mindless effects computers 
have on some people.  Computer games in particular can be 
damaging...they are hypnotizing and frustrating.  I enjoy technology and 
especially computers.  I also recognize the potential for harm exists 
and that we (society in general but especially educators) need to keep 
both eyes open and be wary of "too good a thing."
