It wasn't technology that brought down the Mars orbitter at 'ramming speed'.  It was, eh hem, human error.  Someone didn't get the memo on the correct units to be used and calculations were done in one unit system when they should have been in another.  the wonders of humans... ;P

I pretty much run a real paperless office.  I don't print much and I don't store scores of binders full of notes - everything is done on the computer.  I do use 3x5 cards to list items to be done - which could realistically be done in the computer.  Books on the other hand, I have several hundred.  When they finally and faithfully put books on computers, I'll move to that and spare the trees.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
