How we use the technology, how we create and recreate in the new tech language, is limited only by our own enthusiasm. The internet doesn't exactly transform itself, but it changes damn fast. The Cafe Utne discussion is a great example. As women, struggle comes naturally to us. The best thing we can do, like Rita Marley, is to Keep on Pushing .
Women have an ambivalent relationship with technology, at best.
None of the junk they've been foisting on us since the fifties in the house, or in the office, has actually saved us any time. If new technology has spoken to us at all it's usually told us to work harder, to support our men folk . The scientist as God, Frankenstein, the destruction of the environment, the fear and the anger around reproductive technology, dominate many women's thinking about technology. But, our struggles over reproductive technology, more than anything has taught us that these are all issues of power and control. The hope and promise of technology can be made to work for women.
