To err is human, and I've certainly proved my humanity many times. So far I've been lucky, and my errors have had no significant effects. It could have easily been otherwise, though, and I certainly welcome any technology which can help save my rear. EGPWS is a huge step forward, and IMO it should be required on any commercial aircraft. FMS and full flight directors take over the drudgery of flying, and keep the aircraft on course, on altitude, and allow the pilots to keep the big picture in sight. Reliance on technology without insuring it's doing what we want, not what we told it to do, can be dangerous, however. To coin an acronym, TAANSTAFL, and there are downsides to everything, of course. In the long term though, the upsides outweigh the downsides. I'll take all the technology I can get, and happily learn to cope with it.
