Mostly I agree with this sentiment.  Inside the DCX there's a fair bit of 
complexity, but I don't see that.  It's a magic box that replaces a panel 
full 
of circuit cards, connectors, and contactors.  It doesn't have dozens of 
possible failure points for me to check: it works or it doesn't.  To me 
that's 
actually easier to deal with.

The question can arise whether with the development of such tech-
nological means of communication as radio, film, and the daily
press, freedom of thought is possible at all.  Does this not mean
constant infection with whatever ideas are in circulation?
