Interesting TED Talk by Bill Joy; What I'm worried/excited about

Bill Joy: What I'm worried about, what I'm excited about.

You can download the talk in MP4 here.

It's pretty good, talking about some negative impacts of technology while giving an optomistic look at the future. I posted this mostly because it was interesting, but also because he it's probably going to generate some comments on some of the things he talks about. He's a pretty smart guy, but has some naive ideas about some things...

(highly recommend looking at other TED Talks to those who haven't done so. Some of the most brilliant people discussing a wide range of topics. They post five new talks each week of about 18-20 minutes duration. Also there is a youtube page.)
