Technology has always been a major means for creating new physical and human environments. The information superhighway is about the global movement of weightless bits at the speed of light (Negroponte 12). We are in the midst of the "Information Age." Pundits have proclaimed it for years; articles in the popular press have plumbed its implications for every imaginable enterprise; businesses are enamoured with it; on-line and print magazines are devoted to it; government is wrestling with it, movies (Bi-Centennial Man and Inspector Gadget) have been made about it; people are talking about it--can there be any doubt? In fact, one of the reasons that all media has become digital so quickly is that we achieved very high levels of compressions sooner than most people predicted. (Negroponte 16). While this trend appears to carry on for the century, let us embrace it with open arms and warmth. The use of a technology can enrich the human psyche, enlarge the human spirit and intensify its interior life. As I conclude, I sum up with a famous quote from the great Alexander Graham Bell: "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us". Let us not dwell in our fears for computer technology anymore. Let us instead focus our energy on how we can harness these advances to enhance the human spirit, enrich the human psyche and most importantly, restructure our consciousness for the better, just as what writing has done for us.

Being an optimistic Catholic in nature, I have come to believe that everything in this world is the work of God, and God has created everything in favour of his most beloved creation-man. In this retrospect, it is my firm conviction that unless we intentionally misuse these beautiful creations, computer technology will remain our faithful servant for generations to come. In this essay, I have attempted to present a positive outlook to an otherwise demoralising trend of the fear of computer technology evident in many written texts and society. I believe I have fulfilled what I have intended to achieve from the start, and I sincerely hope that you, the reader, will appreciate that all that we have can be both good and bad, but instead of thinking of how bad it is, why not think of how good it is and how we may reap the most and the best out of everything that we have? Why fear when we can get more out of love and appreciation?
