Progress is generally good. We have things to make life easier or more pleasant that came as a result of progress. Like indoor plumbing. How about central heating and air conditioning. A host of electrical appliances in the kitchen that make preparing a meal a simple thing that can be done in hours or minutes as compared to days. I'm all for that kind of progress. I also like things like automobiles, automatic transmissions, electronic fuel injection, and disc brakes. I do NOT like going overboard on electronic gizmos in cars that are a bit "too" convenient. Like all of those "clickers" that cars have to lock the doors and set the alarm. How far can you trust one of those things? Do you know that ALL of the locking system is in working order, and that ALL of the doors are locked? And, is it necessary to announce it to the world that you locked your car doors? I like cell phones for what they were invented for - communication. The "smart" phones open the door to all kinds of abuses - the main one being texting while driving. Every time I stop at a traffic light, I see drivers near me with their phones texting away. Under NO circumstances will I ever like or accept self driving vehicles. Once you eliminate the human factor, these things will become deadly menaces. Things that we accept on a daily basis like courtesy will not be understood by machines.
Not all progress goes in the right direction. Some of it is downright dangerous.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
