Tony Long (The Luddite) in his column at Wired writes on reducing the hype around technology. See Wired News: Dark Underbelly of Technology.

And that’s the reason for this column: to lend a contrarian perspective to a world besotted with technology and all its bright, glittery appeal. This is not, as some of my colleagues have characterized it, an “anti-technology” column. I’m not, strictly speaking, anti-technology. I just don’t treat it like a freaking religion. So this is a “perspective” column.
