The Big Debate - Motion Passed

It was almost an overwhelming majority - the house voted that computers HAVE made life worse. It was a great debate with some excellent points made by both sides of the panel and a very lively debate by the floor. Well done to everyone that took part, especially Elio, who was the only speaker who attended to speak for the motion!

I was unable to get any sound out of the you tube record and video I was hoping to play so please take some time to listen to the words of Joni Mitchell sing at the Big Sur in California in 1969. It was at the beginning of space travel, a notion of the earth as part of the cosmos and half a million young people able to travel to Woodstock - an idealistic view of what the future could be.
