I have been reading all sorts of stuff about the philosophy of technology and the oppressive nature of 'technique' and the fact that no technology is neutral, but as artefacts of human culture all are necessarily value-laden. I have explored the need for truth, safety, clarity, beauty and all sorts of stuff.
But now I have to bridge the gap from that stuff to the daily use of information technologies, transport technologies and so on. I don't want to just bemoan the current state of our culture. I want to do better than that. Hmmm. Maybe I should just tell the assistant minister he has to do the sermon instead.
