Postingular... Our World?

Reading Postingular it is really scary thinking about how this could be our world in the future, and we may be around long enough to see it. All of the books we have read so far have had technological advancments that are very possible to being the future. Looking at the nants in postingular or even the orphids its an advancment that ruins the world. Onds wife had this premonition about the orphids and asked him not to let them loose, but he did anyway, even after what he experienced with the nants and his son almost dying. Ond seems too intelligent for his own good, just like the guy who built the nants. And even though Onds wife doesnt believe that the technology he is inventing is right, her telling him to stop the advancments with technology seems almost hypocritical, because she used some technology herself, in her eyes and in her house. If she is going to go against her husband and all the advancments becasue she believes that it will destroy the world then she needs to boycott it all, not a selection.

So then am I hypocritical myself, or anyone else who doesnt believe in advancing technology at such a rapid pace but then uses the advancments that we do have, like a computer and the internet? Will I or anyone else have to boycott it all in order to go against this society who is ultimately trying to play God?
