Low Tech

Earlier this month, five months after Steve Fosset was declared dead following his disappearance in Nevada last year, a search team is on its way to look for him. The difference this time is that they're actually going rather than scouring satellite images as was done at the time. Yes there were surely physical searches back then, but it seemed the only searches we heard about were of people scanning images for plane wreckage that could be measured in tens of pixels.
Other technology in the news: pilgrims heading to World Youth Day (not to be confused with the email of Pope Benefict XVI surfing on the tray of a ute aka utility aka flatbed and promoting World Ute Day) are reported to have left their iPods at home - so they could focus their full attention on the festivities and not be distracted by the technology.
