Bad technology

Bruce Sterling's take on 10 technologies that deserve to die.

Oddly, Bruce only wants three of the ten techs he lists - nuclear weapons, land mines, and lie detectors - to die utterly; the other seven he would merely like to see replaced with better alternatives.

I'm not sure that I agree with all of his notions - eliminating prisons in favor of just simply preventing people from doing anything interesting seems a bit absurd as a punishment for violent criminals - but it's an interesting read nonetheless.
