New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Technology offers many benefits, but often comes with a cost, sometimes hidden. Before deciding whether to adopt a new device, service, or program, consider its pros and cons: What will it do for you? What will it take from you? How will using it affect other people and the environment?
The following divination spell can add to your insights. Choose four pennies. Put them with the target object, or a photo or other representation of it, for at least a full day. Cup the pennies in your hands and drop them onto a flat surface. Count the heads: 4 heads = highly useful, no significant problems. 3 heads = significantly useful, only minor problems. 2 heads = so-so; somewhat useful, but fraught with challenges. 1 head = probably more trouble than it's worth. 0 heads = not very useful, causing significant problems. |
