Ugh Technical Determinism …

In class today we were split to three groups to discuss about the reading by Murphie and Potts. Though we mainly just discussed the first two page, already there were a lot of theory and perception from so many different people. Though i’ve learned it before in my previous semester, I’ve found it interesting and more clarifying compare to before.

In my own understanding, technological determinism is how our culture, future, and society (or our life) is determined by the way technology developed. I find one of the passage in the reading interesting, “Technological determinism usually refers to the present, and unto the future…”  I find that this is like when you found something now but don’t know the theory or use of it until the future and to reach that future, we as the ‘creator’ worked furiously to develop the technology needed and will determined the future of other people.

But technology is the one considered to be shaping the future, it is still the human shaping it. Why? Well because technology is still created by us, by our need, and by our selfishness to get quicker result. So in the end human still remain supreme, not some artificial intelligent.
