5 things about technology | The Past is Prologue
- Technology giveth and taketh away
- New technologies are never distributed evenly among the population. This means that every new technology benefits some and harms others
- Embedded in every technology there is a powerful idea, sometimes two or three powerful ideas
- Technological change is not additive; it is ecological
- media tend to become mythic
“What’s past is prologue” - Shakespeare
A powerful, worthwhile read from Niel Postman, see link below. Thanks @taylorbrooks for the read.
