John Stossel: Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Technology

We don't think twice about miracles like computer dating or email or the fact that, today, most everyone in the world has access to all the world's knowledge on a little device. We take it for granted that we can put a piece of plastic into a wall and cash will come out—and the count is always accurate. Government couldn't do that. Government can't even count votes accurately. As John Stossel observes, from cell phones to 3D-printed guns, technology is the thing that keeps making the world better.
