Topic:Summary and Analysis of Pacey's"Technology and Practice"
NEW WORLD CREATED
by TECHNOLOGY
In this chapter, Pacey explains the
definitions of technology and tells us that there are different levels in the
definition of technology and that these levels need to be consistent. Pacey
says the technology has political, cultural and moral implications. Pacey reminds
that people have the strongest potential to invent and argue that they
shouldn't decide on their own when they make technology inventions. Therefore, Pacey
reminds about the need to use technology to positively influence and change
developments in particular cultures and contexts.
Pacey
argues that technology is not worthless and technology has affected the
positive changes in the industry's progress. Technological necessity, in part,
is an expression of personal values and experiences, and argues that
technology is not just tools, machines and tools. Pacey suggests that education
is very important in the technological environment and that people should be
educated more. Pacey thinks that the main purpose of the technology is to
benefit from solving the problems that really cause problems and proposes
educational approaches. It explains that education can decrease birth rates,
slow down population growth and more qualitative developments in living
standards. In other words, by establishing a great connection between education
and technology, Pacey is argued that inventions should be made according to the
needs of people and society. What Pacey wants to say is that we need to focus
on the cultural aspect of technology. Pacey objected to the idea that
technology is worthless. It demonstrates that technology development and use
are conditioned by many economic and scientific as well as political and cultural
factors. This chapter also presents many examples from various cultures. Pacey reminds
that the impact of snow engines in North America, the use of water pumps in
rural India, and homemade toys in Africa, and the power generation in Africa,
have led to many cultural and environmental changes along with new
technological developments in many communities.
Pacey
argues that many technologies have positive advantages as well as
disadvantages. However, he argues that environmental pollution has increased considerably
due to excessive consumption of people. Pacey argues that people are giving
great environmental damages to the environment with the technological tools
they invented. This directly intervenes in the environment and the order of
nature. As a result, all these technological developments and inventions are
dragging us towards a great environmental, social and cultural disaster, unless
they are produced and used for the right purpose.
Nowadays, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.
There are a lot of social media sites. What do these social media sites do? I
think they're completely time-consuming. Maybe these sites are really
necessary? I think yes sometimes I think they are necessary. It allows us to
find a friend, a relative we never saw, or to see their pictures, to
communicate. Or these sites Is now the time passing by huge wasted in our
lives? I think they spend a lot of time in our lives in general. I think we
should focus on more important things that are important to our lives.
As
technology advanced, the world was a tiny place for us. Where we are, we can
access a facebook account of Australia or other personal information. Is social
media danger for us? I think yes it is a danger because our personal information,
our bank accounts, our social security number, etc. there is a risk of theft. I
also think that in our lives, we have to postpone our work and cause us to
become more lazy individuals. Most of the young people at any time, his eyes
and hands on his phone, sometimes twitter, someone reads the message, sometimes
on Facebook, watching a live broadcast or someone in Instagram is looking at
photos. It also brings a lot of health problems.
I
think that the value of technology should facilitate the challenges we face in
our lives. We can do what we dreamed 20 years ago. Technology is progressing
progressively. As Pacey said, technology is not worthless. I just think that
technology shouldn't take more time in people's lives, they should give more
time to their lives.
