Teaching about the Nature of Technology Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • 2013 Sense Publishers. All Rights Reserved. That technology, without our awareness, changes the way we think and act is not at all obvious. When that idea is raised, people almost always consider it only in superficial ways, and focus exclusively on how they think technology has positively changed their lives - how they now spend more time on the internet, playing games, listening to music, talking on the phone, and texting friends. Rarely do their responses reflect awareness that technology also changes the way we think, that it can change our behavior in harmful ways, and that it can take us down paths we would not willingly have chosen.
