Bill Joy: Why the future doesn't need us. [Scripting News]

Bill Joy was the chief scientist with Sun until this week, when he resigned. This article appeared in Wired in April, 2000.

"From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century. I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things."

This is still an outstanding piece that in my opinion should be read, studied, and understood by all of us who would take leadership of enterprises, technology, and thought.
