Does technology help us to lead a more valuable and meaningful life? "With improved tools technology can be described as a separate step in applied science" {4}. Technology was originally developed to conquer / unify the environment (nonhuman) in order for people to live a more comfortable life. Technological development was promoted by Protestant liberal ethics of European people of the 18th century. They developed tools to control inhumane acts using their new scientific knowledge.
Technical talent is to make things done in various ways. As technology advances, we can have opportunities to achieve our ability to transcend ourselves while at the same time allowing us all to be more fulfilling, more human living. For the first time in history, the relationship with technology has undergone a fundamental change from technology literacy to humanity. Previously, I had to learn the language of the machine, which button to press and which code to write. Now, they help us in a humanitarian way and help us build a more personalized connection.
Our technology does not necessarily help us to live a beautiful and meaningful life. They do not necessarily make us a better citizen, friend, colleague. What you are explaining is vision disorder that I do not want to live. Techniques for shaping human life without human input are of no interest to me. As a consumer, we must seek change. Do not buy it if you object to what the technology does for you. If you notice that your iPhone does not exist so much, or is not more self-sufficient, do not buy it - or at least ask for a different design. I started watching this in the smartphone world. People said, "This makes me crazy, my cell phone leads me, I need equipment that is closer to my time."
