The New Luddite Challenge (Score 1)

As the one of the founding fathers of the Free Software Movement, your work has had, and continues to have direct impact on the improvement of the software tools and technology freely available to the world at large. Do you ever stop to consider whether or not this is a GoodThing(TM)?? More specifically, what is your perspective on the Unabomber's "New Luddite Challenge" which claims that progress of information technology will ultimately lead to the extinction of our species (worst case), or at best reduce the masses of humanity to the status of domestic pets dependent on the whims of the technocratic elite? How do you view your personal goals and technological efforts in this context??
