An unquestioning reliance on technology can create a culture where people expect technological solutions to all problems. Technology can put decisions in the hands of the technologists, degrade public discussion, and divert attention, discussion, and funds. It often alters power relations between people, generally amplifying the power for some. We need to understand and anticipate to some degree the effects of specific technological artifacts and the broader implications as well.
