Technology: it’s a big word that evokes big emotions. It’s exciting to see the newest version of the iPhone come out and see what it can do. If you haven’t checked it out, just google iPhone 4S or search for it at YouTube and you’ll see what I mean.
On a different note, certain technologies and developments used to produce food are often resisted. Fear of change or of what might result, disbelief of the advantages outweighing disadvantages, or other beliefs? Worthy of investigation, yes, but worthy of an emotional furry of “fact” throwing, no.
I know, this seems to be a soapbox of mine. I do respect the views of those who don’t see things the way I do. That is why I value the need for an increase in transparency and a better connection between the industry and urban consumers. I also value the need for improvement. Nothing’s perfect and everything could be improved is my motto. Let’s think outside the box and improve what we have.
Anyway, I’d just like to share a link to an editorial I wrote recently for my ag journalism class. It doesn’t cover everything, and there could probably be a whole series written on each of those paragraphs. But, on a lighter note, it shows what you can learn from the Beverly Hillbillies. Where have all the good TV shows gone?
