Technology Bias!!
Environment

• Garbage/Recycling Report
• Energy

Ways of thinking

• William Kurelek's art
  and views on technology - does he distinguish between the technique and
  the machine? Some samples: (from the Our World Today) The Dream of
  Mayor Crombie, This is Our Nemiesis, He Gloats over Our Skepticism. And
  from the first gallery, The Tower of Babel and The Maas Maze. and from
  the 3rd section, Cross Section of Vinnitsia in the Ukraine.

Postman’s Five Ideas

• First, that we always pay a price for technology; the greater the technology, the greater      the price.
• Second, that  there are always winners and losers, and that the winners always
  try to persuade the losers that they are really winners.
• Third, that there is embedded in every great technology an
  epistemological, political or social prejudice. Sometimes that bias
  is greatly to our advantage. Sometimes it is not. The printing
  press annihilated the oral tradition; telegraphy annihilated space;
  television has humiliated the word; the computer, perhaps, will
  degrade community life. And so on.
• Fourth, technological change is not additive; it is ecological, which
  means, it changes everything and is, therefore, too important to be
  left entirely in the hands of Bill Gates.
• And fifth, technology tends to become mythic; that is, perceived as
  part of the natural order of things, and therefore tends to control
  more of our lives than is good for us. …

In the past, we experienced technological change in the manner of sleep-walkers. Our unspoken slogan has been "technology über alles," and we have been willing to shape our lives to fit the requirements of technology, not the requirements of culture. This is a form of stupidity, especially in an age of vast technological change. We need to proceed with our eyes wide open so that we many use technology rather than be used by it."

What we value

• Are we any happier?
