Document Summary

Devices leave no lasting impact (is one theory: leads us to believe that we are indestructible. If we admit technology changes us: the impact become necessary and inevitable, we were always going to have this happen, technology=progress. Do it to have feelings confirmed not messed up. Allows us to continue on this path, we don t have to fear tech. Technology will always protect us never do anything wrong. If we reject the notion that tech isn t positive it is also never neutral. Even though we can t live without it. It is a value of a larger value system. The system determines how we think we accept this without knowing. We need to be critical as most people take no stance on technology. Already adopt value system about technology and world too. Technology is powerful we need to interrogate and look critically at it or else we will just slip into that mindset (attitude)
