Attempt to curb unbridled technocentricity

I've always struggled with both a love of technology, and a concern about its way too often ignored adverse effects...its really been painful at times, and thus my blog 'Geeking Out Loud: The tech reviews, tips and struggles of a neo-luddite technophile." That blog (www.geekingoutloud.com) is one recent attempt, but the main one was a research paper that compared Tolkien's magic to our technology (few know that his myth was largely a critique of industrialism). You can read the paper here I'd change much, but it was a good start to my thinking and many people have read it online and enjoyed it.
