Less civilized? Last thing I want to be doing at a cafe instead of relaxing is to be looking at a laptop/pda screen while listening to the tapping of keys by some tech junkie who won't take the risk of doing something else in his life for the fear of missing a slashdot/fark post or the latest trivial e-mail from some braindead colleague.

And I'm pretty sure there must be a creation myth that pushes the boundaries of imagination even further. Science however does not deal in religion. Or entertainment. Not that parts of it are not entertaining or supported with religious fervour, but hey lets try to educate kids instead of introducing a new Dark Age...
