I saw this article and immediately thought of TWC session 1, where we discussed about "Why do western people have more cargo?". The following (byte-sized) points are what I feel about the article while considering what I learnt in session 1~ I'll keep them short so everyone can grasp the main points quickly and move on to more articles!! (:
- New technology created in flurry, end up compromising on equally salient aspects of life eg environment
- Technology usually made to cater to needs of the people who form the market for it, or simply put, the people who can afford it. intensify the haves and have nots
- Assuring that in the future, new technology can address previously overlooked but pressing needs; people do not just move ahead and leave people behind in this race for technology to better our lives
