Technology divides, disorientates and disrupts us

It suggests that technology is the first mover. It suggests that technology divides us, technology disorientates us, technology disrupts us. And I think it treats technology as a kind of God, the first mover, the original sin, the original good thing. I can blame that of course on my publishers. Publishers like these sort of short, snappy titles which blame something: How technology kills men, how technology kills our culture, how technology ruins our community. I think technology needs to be seen in a more complex way. Technology is both the cause and an effect of the way we live in the 21st century, and digital technology is increasingly becoming central.
