The Tiger & The Ringmaster: Taming High Tech With High Touch - Softcover

The Tiger & the Ringmaster - Taming High Tech With High Touch Beware! The future is upon us. This was the time of man, the time of machines, the time of high technology and the time of high touch or the human factor. But mankind in all its infinite knowledge had allowed its ego to get in the way, grown lazy and uninvolved with the daily necessities of life. All was being left to the technology under the guise of "serving the best interests of mankind." This is a fable that is all too close to a direction we may be heading in faster than the speed of life. There may not be an opportunity to turn things around once we allow technology to devour our souls. This is a warning to move forward cautiously and respectfully of what we as humans not only have the ability to do but the choice to make decisions that will impact our very existence. Choices that will chart the course of our future and be moving us toward an unimaginable dark destiny. Our decisions and our actions may produce consequences for which we will be inescapably accountable. This is a call to awareness. This is a warning of what may lie ahead should we choose to move from the mind of man blindly into the hands of technology just because we can! Weigh the possibilities, take practical risks, move forward with confidence and the knowledge that our decisions have been the result of thorough investigation and debate. Chart a cautious and predictable course of prosperity that utilizes the tools of technology in a beneficial and caring way for us all. The human factor is and must remain the primary component that is the key to a purposeful future. Beware! The future is upon us. Darryl S . Doane, Rose D. Sloat June 1, 2015
