Culture and Technology, where do we begin?

The main points I took from the Potts, Murphie reading were:
– Technologies play a prominent role in defining a society and determining where that society goes in the future.
– For technology to remain relevant, it must adapt to changing social conditions.
–  Technology does not simply refer to the evolution of gadgetry that is always present in society, but more so to the technological age, in which everything around us (the entire developed world) is a form of technology and we are forever entwined with this technology.
–  Our technology is our culture and our culture is our technology; as the world moves in this never-ending technological vortex, it is likely that technology will now forever be a part of who we are, and we will seek to create technologies that we are as much a part of.
