Print Notes Version

Read before coming to class:

  • Monsma, S.V. 1986. Responsible Technology. pp. 1 - 36, Chapters 1 - 3. Read carefully.
    (Now in at the bookstore:  Since this book is out of print, these reprinted editions are most likely the only ones available and they were on-demand printed for this class.)

What is technology?  Is there a technological method akin to the scientific method? Is technology something we are called or required to do or is it just something nice that is supposed to make our life more leisurely?  Why have we accepted technology blindly as progress with very little evaluation or consideration of ethics or tradeoffs?  Why?  Why? Why?
