If technology has helped us how come most people living in the modern world who actually manage to preserve any functional ability to observe and analyse there environment end up deeply dissalusioned and depressed. I can see this in almost everyone i know, most people hide this fact by acting out false persona's through fear of seeming different or odd and attracting ridicule and confrontation and think thats just the way it is opting to assosiate the relivance or meaning with media stereotypes
Comparing technology to Frankenstein is overly dramatic. Does Reggio not see that technology has helped develop our world develop also in a positive way?
@lilyflodo he does mention here the homogenization of culture(s) and technology is a means to achieving that, also i think you're aware of your own subjective point of view, some say it's a good thing while others say it's bad, typically the ones that say technology is good are from the "developed" countries that didn't get into contact or had first hand experiences with the people and cultures from the "undeveloped" countries
I love listening to this guy but in certain ways I don't fully line up with his arguments. For instance, without the linguistic flourishes he engages in, the philosophical angles or the artistic ideology, technology can dramatically help us and improve our lives. Technology is not the problem. Technology is the end result of applied science, which is merely a tool. What we do with it is our choice, cure Polio, or create the H-Bomb. And this is directly tied into our socioeconomic system.
He's fascinating but I want plain talk to certain extents. The reason we prey on other countries is because we are part of a monetary system that is based on conquering and profit motive. Plain and simple. Technology will lift us out of this primitive state. Notice how he says we need to create a better life but doesn't say how.
However, he's a brilliant man and I agree with so much of these statements, especially his finally statement at the end.
@Neanderthalcouzin hahahaha wow, its interesting that from my point of view, a point of view also not fully in line with Godfrey's, it seems like what hes saying is that we live in that world, the one you're writing about, and thats the problem... or he saying that you having a motivation to write your response the way you did is the problem
Talking about propaganda and advertisement and having the Freudian slip "Coca-Coma" was fantastic.
