When affects are ascribed to
technology people might deem it the cause. This instills false dogma. Although technology is valuable, it remains an inorganic artifact.
Life's focal point is people. They are
the dazzling subjects, the centre of earthly existence. Here morally-unable submit to the morally-able, and thus technology
submits to people.
Living people's interactions are
fruitful when empathy and compassion are facilitated in an ethical
setting, while serving other's well discerned needs in peace. Within
their context and culture, people do experience joy, discern wisdom,
and recognize knowledge. Technology never does. Everywhere not-living technology
can assist in absolute wonderful and stunning ways, or it can
obstruct and even destroy.
Through distinct phases of bewilderment
and amazement we reach out to expert and use technology. When
technology is constructed to be appropriate - that is: to converge
upon people's needs – it can be helpful. Mastered and controlled by
people, technology's utilization can be purposeful and innovative.
Technology facilitates, it cannot not
drive. Technology amplifies, it cannot initiate. Technology assists,
it cannot lead. Technology does not determine, nor dictates: it
serves.
