    Technology does not scare me and actually, I don't think you can stop it. I mean, if we were scared of improvements, we should all be competing in the old wool swim suits: or maybe even mammoth skin loin cloths if we want to go really far back in the technological line. I do not see bicyclists racing the same bicycles from fifty years ago, nor the runner in the old shoes; and, the same should go for the swimmer which means that swim suits will improve to lessen drag to near zero coefficients. Technology marches on.
