I will have to agree with Kellye in that I enjoyed reading (most of) the essays on technology and the changing perception through the years. The authors’ writing strongly reflected their various background and specializations. Noticing the relationship helped me see each author’s point of view on technology and the relationship between the readings mentioned by Taylor. Overall, the reading provided a great basic knowledge of technology in the context required for this class.- Kirsten Walleck | I will have to agree with Kellye in that I enjoyed reading (most of) the essays on technology and the changing perception through the years.

| + | I thought Langdon Winner's essay on technology and politics had boring arguments with interesting examples. Winner recognizes that its important to note the social system that technology is embedded into, but warns people have over-relied on that concept to ignore technology itself. I don't think that's true. The NY bridges example is demonstrative: to recognize the implications of the bridge, even Winner has to explain the original social context that the bridges were built into. | ||
