Details
Hey SLPCers--ever feel like the world is in some ways built more for our machines than for ourselves? If so, join us as we finish up with Neil Postman's "Technopoly".
Writing a third of a century ago, Postman (maybe better known for his other work, Amusing Ourselves to Death) saw technology as a force that, far from being neutral, has its own intrinsic aims--and can and will pursue those aims at the expense of things that provide meaning in our lives.
A PDF of the book can be found at (https://archive.org/details/235p-technopoly-neil-postman). We will cover page 107 through the end.
