That being said, Mackenzie's point about how everyone sees technology differently is completely unfounded without the generic nature of said technology. It is a wonderful catch-22 situation, quite honestly. We hate anything to be bland and dehumanizing, but we can't innovate on it unless it is essentially a blank slate. -Cash Nelson | That being said, Mackenzie's point about how everyone sees technology differently is completely unfounded without the generic nature of said technology.

| + | I really enjoyed the view that was taken on by the essays of what technology is really defined as. It opened my mind to what is really considered as "technology." In my mind technology is only what we use today, i.e. computers, internet. This has been taught to me through living my life, but what I have not realized was that technology is just about everything through time that has made our lives easier or allowing us to have a better quality of life. i.e. heater etc. -- Jimmy Conroy | ||

| + | I also enjoyed how the the term technology is defined differently as time goes on; how technology was seen in the early 20th century compared to the 21st century. New farming machines that replaced mules was seen as new technology in the 20th century. This compared to a laptop of today did not have a relation to me, but as I read these essays they showed me that these are all forms of technology that can be related to each other as a history. -- Jimmy Conroy | ||
