I'm curious if people on nostr would agree with this skepticism of technology's ability to restore a natural balance within society, or whether you think that the technology we're all working on here can actually accomplish that mission:
"An increasingly prevalent and popular brand of the futurist ethos is one that identifies electricity and electrical power, electronics and cybernetics, computers and information with a new birth of community, decentralization, ecological balance, and social harmony... The manifest consequences of electricity are clearly in opposition to a decentralized, organic, harmonious order."
This is a quote by James Carey from his book "Communication and Culture."
