Technology determines the possibilities of society. It doesn't matter whether you start out from a fascist state or a communist state or a free-market state.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born.
It has been claimed at times that our modern age of technology facilitates dictatorship.
Technology is the fashion of the '90s. It affects everyone, and everyone is interested in it - either from fear of being left behind or because they have a real need to use technology.
Personally, I believe that government, rather than money, tends to be the primary factor limiting the development of new technologies.
Technology is rooted in the past. It dominates the present and tends into the future. It is a real historical movement - one of the great movements which shape and represent their epoch.
The message I'm trying to send is that technology is political, and that many decisions that look like decisions about technology actually are not at all about technology - they are about politics, and they need to be scrutinized as closely as we would scrutinize decisions about politics.
In the 21st century, you have to use technology as one of the tools in the toolkit to bring about social change.
Technological 'revolutions' don't really overthrow anything - they simply append a new and dynamic market to that which went before.
Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.
Technology, we find, amplifies behaviours. If you want to be anti-social, technology allows you to be. And vice versa.
