CS213 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Roundabout Playpump, Luddite, Ivan Illich
Document Summary
Critical research to/within the received view: appropriate tech, mumford and technics. Things to come clip finale: this or that, you have to move forward towards better-ness, overcoming limits, efficiency and. We are learning to speak a language of tech by changing the terms. In the microtheme: avoid the rv, use the right terminology in the right way, do not contradict yourself, be consistent with assumptions. Are we too dependent on tech: automatically giving tech the upper hand, makes the assumption that tech is autonomous, imagining a relationship based on dominance, that tech or people are better/more dominant than the other. We are trying to change our view of tech and avoid thinking of tech and culture as separate, they are together as one. Operate outside the rv: luddites, appropriate tech, the unabomber. The ways in which people have come to accept and internalize the rv and the consequences of accepting it.
