Technology Defines Culture

Entrepreneurs of technical products define our culture, even if by accident.

Technologies throughout all time have redefined the culture that created them. As Neil Postman said, "After television, America was not America plus television." It was a new America. Computers and mobile technologies have had a similar effect on cultures throughout the world. The people who brought these products into the marketplace did so to make a profit. Changing society was usually not their goal. We should remember that not all technologies are guaranteed to improve our lives -- some are only guaranteed to fill the wallets of capitalists.

Hello, World!

This will be a blog dedicated to technical news and events, especially those related to computers in our everyday society. I will also post on book reviews, and other computer related subjects. I look forward to passing along interesting things that I find and the thoughts I have on them. See you all when I publish my first real post!
