Document Summary

Technology orders our world to restrict it of all risk and protect us from elements and odds. If it isn"t perfect now it will be soon. Do we know anything about the machines do we just expect technology to always work. Belief in the use of technology and its capacity and potential because we trust it. We perceive our machines as closed systems because they contain toxic materials. We do not see or do not know how to see the technologies that we use everyday. We don"t care about how the cell phone works, it just matters that it works. We can not just utilize machines they effect us in ways we don"t notice, and organize our identity, condition our relationship with the world and other people. We need to recognize the tools and systems continue to hold power above us.
