I watched the movie, and was with them until they got to the part about 
technology saving us.  It didn't really hit me why, and then I was reading 
Joseph Campbell's "The Power Of Myth" with Bill Moyers, and came across the 
following:

"It's what Goethe said in Faust but which Lucas [Re: George Lucas, in the 
movie Star Wars] has dressed in modern idiom -- the message that technology 
is not going to save us.  Our computers, our tools, our machines are not 
enough.  We have to rely on our intuition, our true being."


That rings more true with me.  Comments?
