CONTINUITY
Technology is continuity, Technology is life
6
Interestingly enough, there is another side of technology we have not even examined: technology as a source of continuity.
Kevin Kelly, host of the Ted Talk focusing on the question “What is Technology” has a very enlightening, and slightly disconcerting view on what technology is, which really helps put technology in to perspective:
Imagine a world without technology… We as a species would not live very long. We would die by the billions, and very quickly the wolves would get us… We would no longer to be able to grow enough food or find enough food, even the hunter gatherer used some elementary tools (Kelly, 2010).
This is one of the many examples from this video publication that illustrates that we as a human race would not be where we are today without technology. In fact, it is quite possible that we would not exist at all today without the technological innovations of our modern day society.
