Not being a golfer, I find this Detroit News story pretty funny:
Statistical studies show that the average handicap of recreational golfers hasn't come down in the past decade, despite the emergence of hot-faced drivers and soaring golf balls. . . . Golf course architect Arthur Hills [says]: "Often, they are at a disadvantage with this technology because the errant shots are traveling farther off-line then they did previously." I am sure that with a little work one could translate this into a general philosophy of the tech world.
(Link from Infectious Greed, who notes: "my Callaway 454 uber-driver caus[es] me to regularly launch balls 280–300 yards, albeit far across other fairways and nearby service roads. It’s spectacular, of course, but neither safe nor particularly effective at reducing my score.")
