It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Technology does more than delight, entertain and make our lives more convenient, it's also an agent for social good. That is why it's important for tech startups to stay informed about, and make a mark on, policies that impact them.
As technology evolves, it manipulates our culture, and there's a huge opportunity to push ourselves further. I think it actually makes ourselves maybe more human, or at least human in a different way, that we can connect together in amazingly different ways and powerful new ways.
Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for civilization, the defining force of a new social order in which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity imposed on all human activity.
If we want technology to serve society rather than enslave it, we have to build systems accessible to all people - be they male or female, young, old, disabled, computer wizards or technophobes.
The one thing that advances a society is not technology or so-called development; it's love - that one principle.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
The more technology we introduce into society, the more people will aggregate, will want to be with other people: movies, rock concerts, shopping.
The social world is transforming the way we create wealth, work, learn, play, raise our children, and probably the way we think.
We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.
Technology, we find, amplifies behaviours. If you want to be anti-social, technology allows you to be. And vice versa.
