Neil Postman argues that technology has become the center of society and has subordinated everything else.
Postman loosely defines technology to include polls, schools and languages.
This lose definition allows him to blame technology for a great many things. This, in turn, allows him to simplify the complex state of affairs that others call post-modernism. I feel that his loose definition of technology is ultimately justified by the results of the argument. It provides us with a needed focus by defining an enemy. In a sense, it does not matter which enemy we chose, as long as we get it over with and start to address the problems.
