What the tech?

Viewed today on G4techTV (more info here): Cape Breton (NS) caller via Skype to TheLab, asked about Wi-Fi with Ubuntu challenge he was having; X-Play winner for best game of the year 2007 was BioShock. Accepting the award for the latter, the lead designer expressed that gamers are interested in thinking and in more than just blowing things up. For gamers and others out there (e.g., cast of The IT Crowd), here are a few things to perhaps think about: Will violent games and videos make a future world that is more violent? Will TV in future award IT Pros in many more categories and will this include various social responsibility awards given to those who in someway give positive energy towards a notion of continually making a better world? What the tech is next in a world interconnected by software, technology and information? Will it somehow help to improve the quality of life for all?
