Technology and weeds.

Using technology is like smoking weeds. It`s kind of addictive but some people say it depends on who does it. Neil Postman argues,

                  “What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business.

We just use technology, but we never learned how to use it properly. Only thing we learned in school and home is that too much computer games are bad or controlling ourselves is important. WE never learned what technology does it to us. We just use it. And we believe any development of technology is good thing. Whether we are Liberals or conservatives, Christians or atheists, Asians or Caucasians, we do not debate about stopping scientific development. The technology`s evolution deemed to be natural.
