Resisting Technology: Regaining a Personal Ecology



Resisting Technology: Regaining a Personal Ecology

Q1) Ravi Agarwal states that, “[He has] been left resisting technology”. Do you think this will happen to more people as technology progresses, and do you think technology may, in some ways, be just a fad?

Q2) Agarwal said, “Though [technology] meant to provide answers to human problems, they created dominances and acquire the arrogance of being able to guide human density”. Thus far in our technological advancement, do you see technology creating more problems, or fixing more problems overall?

Q3) Do you think that there will be technology that will solve environmental problems in the near future? Will they be widely adopted? If not, what will prevent the adaptation of this kind of technology?

Q4) “Knowledge is no longer local, it is centrally controlled and distributed to the more fortunate who can access it”. I am wondering what this means for the future of education and if this will create somewhat of a caste system?
