Smallish Post, due Sept 12

While many of us may consider knowledge to be purely good, there are always those who would use that knowledge for malicious or dangerous purposes. I believe that the responsibility of how that knowledge is used, belongs not the finder of the that knowledge, but to whoever applies that knowledge. I do not think that it is the responsibility of the inventor or researcher to speculate on how their inventions or findings may be used.  Henry Ford invented the automobile, yet we do not curse his name every time there is a fatal car crash. I believe this principle should be applied to all knowledge, regardless on its date of discovery or creation. As technology becomes more advance, we may begin to worry about things such as security or safety. This does not mean we should halt the technological advance. It my well be a good idea to protect ourselves from possible abuses of this newfound, but we should not fear advance itself. Instead we should look forward to the ever expanding wealth of knowledge before us and put the blame of its abuse solely on the individual.
