I will get straight to the point, or, rather, to the points. I intend to deal with each and every one of them extensively - but, as is our habit, I am just mapping the territory. Francis Bacon and, centuries later, the visionary Ernst Kapp, thought of technology as a means to conquer and master nature - an expression of the classic dichotomy between observer and observed. It is clear how unclear and indefensible these definitions are. The use of technology involves choices and the exercise of free will.
Technology seems to shape cultures, societies, ideals and expectations.
The latter's views place technology neatly in the Kantian framework of categorical imperatives. Displacing the blame is a classic psychological defence mechanism but it leads to fatal behavioural rigidities and pathological thinking.
