Impact of Technology (Score 1)

1.) Often I hear people saying how great it is that internet access is trickling down to the impoverished masses. While that's all well and good, how do you think technology will be able to help people who can barely afford to eat, let alone surf the web. This happens not just in other countries, but in our as well. Local hunger groups in my area have been saying that families that work 40 hours a week are showing up more and more at their door.

2.) Technology companies are insanely large now, this includes, not just companies like Microsoft and AOL Time Warner, but the Biotech industry as well. How can we ensure that these companies will not abuse the power they have, exploiting people and their rights for the sake of profit?
