The computer is my favourite invention. i feel lucky to be part of the global village. i don't mean to brag, but i'm so fast with technology. people think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. i'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.

The most revolutionary aspect of technology is its mobility. anybody can learn it. it jumps easily over barriers of race and language. ... the new technology of microchips and computer software is learned much faster than the old technology of coal and iron. it took three generations of misery for the older industrial countries to master the technology of coal and iron. the new industrial countries of east asia, south korea, and singapore and taiwan, mastered the new technology and made the jump from poverty to wealth in a single generation.

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

I have no opposition at all to technology. i think technology is a wonderful thing that has to be used thoughtfully, and we can't just assume that every bit of new technology improvesthe quality of life; it's really in how the technology is used. what i am very disturbed about is this trend of everything happening faster and faster and faster and there being more and more general noise in the world, and less and less time for quiet reflection on who we are, and where we're going.
Technology Thinking Reflection
Anyone who has studied the history of technology knows that technological change is always a faustian bargain: technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. a new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. but it is never one-sided. the invention of the printing press is an excellent example. printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration.

As the only class distinction available in a democracy, the college degree has created a caste society as rigid as ancient india's. condemning elitism and simultaneously quaking in fear that our children won't become members of the elite, we send them to college, not to learn, but to "be" college graduates, rationalizing our snobbery with the cliché that high technology has eliminated the need for the manual labor that we secretly hold in contempt.

I've been wearing hearing aids for a long time. the technology available now is simply unbelievable. when i compare the new digital products to what we had 30 years ago, it's an amazing difference.... there was a time when i couldn't hear what most people said to me, most of the time. but with the hearing aids, i understand just about everything ... it really is very impressive.

But it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light - that it's going to change everything. things don't have to change the world to be important.
