some technology is great, other aspects are completely pointless.

You'll have to narrow that down a bit, porkmarras.

I'm really not a fan of pointless/unnecessary technology. Or technology that takes jobs away from humans.

i don't like that technology is used more and more to make our lives complex and tangled up; i also dislike the fact that although an instrument like a compressor/jackhammer in the long run fucks up the worker's body permanently, it's still not replaced by a harmless - or less harmful- instrument, while all sorts of useless gadgets are being invented everyhour.
insort i think that technology, our ends in creating new technology should change.

I hate my computer, sometimes

It's great for storing inspired, useful corners of the internet like this for the rest of eternity!

I find Heidegger's thoughts on technology fascinating. That the essence of technology is not technological.

Glice 11.23.2008 08:10 AM

Heidegger used to frig himself with a hammer.

the technology is fine, the commercial release of technologies before they are ready and properly tested is bullshit.... ie iphones every single person i know who has one has had to take it back to the apple store at least once. beta testing is garbage when the beta test is most of the world.

on technology taking jobs from humans,... ehhh.... the technology still needs humans to keep it working, it doesn't take jobs away it just shifts the jobs to something else.

technology allows me to do things in my job that were impossible manually.

All for it.
It's the only way for us to become cyborgs. And only way for me to ever get laid.

The toaster is a great invention. The salad shooter, not so much.

deflinus 11.23.2008 11:57 PM

no matter how you look at it, all forms of technology are based on one goal:

to download/watch porn.

floatingslowly 11.23.2008 11:59 PM

for the record: I am pro-cyborg.

just letting you know.
