If you can ONLY fly the airplane by using the toys, then you are a danger to yourself and others.
Had you kept with the word "technology" throughout this entire reply, then that would have been fine. However, it comes back to the use of the word "toys".
Every flight into terrain accident, that I previously listed in this thread was done with complete purpose. Each one of these cases (if applied to today's technology) could have had a different outcome, thanks to new and cheap technology (not toys) such as a small handheld Garmin 296 with terrain mapping data-bases.
