Part of the problem is when we bring in a new technology we expect it to be perfect in a way that we don't expect the world that we're familiar with to be perfect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think you'll ever have a perfect world because we humans are prone to error, and so we're always in search of an upgrade.
Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Many new technologies come with a promise to change the world, but the world refuses to cooperate.
If we have learned nothing else from the 20th century, we should at least have grasped that the more perfect the answer, the more terrifying its consequences. Incremental improvements upon unsatisfactory circumstances are the best that we can hope for, and probably all we should seek.
We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.
The one thing perhaps that technology hasn't always given us is a sense of how to make the wisest use of technology.
Technology makes the world a new place.
People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.
Whenever a new technology is introduced into society, there must be a counterbalancing human response - that is, high touch - or the technology is rejected... We must learn to balance the material wonders of technology with the spiritual demands of our human nature.
