Technology and Human Responsibility

Technology and Human Responsibility - a fascinating essay and criticism of our current views and use of technology. "If we continued investing our energies in such one-sidedness, allowing the rapid spread of digital machinery continually to reinforce our own imbalance, then (so I argued) we would eventually descend to the level of our machines without even realizing it. And we would mistake our own descent for a glorious ascent of the machine to a human and then a superhuman level." (via Scott Leslie)
