This article from the Times emphasizes the depth of technology's infiltration in this country and discusses the confusion and potential damage that this may cause in our already fragile and browbeaten financial system. Perhaps after reading this article, we can all sympathize with the message coming from the angry guitar strings of the named band, raging against the system with every chord.
