WORTH REPEATING...
	"To render technology useful, we must blend it with humanity. 
This process will serve us best if, alongside our most promising 
technologies, we bring our full humanity, augmenting our rational 
powers with our feelings, our actions and our faith. We cannot do 
this by reason alone!"
	Michael L. Dertouzos (MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science)
