Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around from "summary" of Program Or Be Programmed by Douglas Rushkoff

In a world where technology is increasingly ubiquitous, we must remember that we are the ones who created it. It is up to us to determine how we interact with and use technology. We should not simply accept technology as it is, but rather question its impact on our lives and society. When we allow technology to dictate our behavior, we give up our autonomy and agency. We become slaves to our devices, constantly checking notifications and seeking validation from social media. Instead, we should be using technology to enhance our lives and improve our well-being. Technology should be a tool that serves us, not a master that controls us. We must be mindful of how we use technology and ensure that it aligns with our values and goals. By taking a proactive approach to technology, we can harness its potential to create positive change in the world. We must also be aware of the biases and agendas that are built into technology. Algorithms are not neutral - they are created by humans with their own biases and beliefs. We must question the assumptions that underlie the technology we use and consider how they may be influencing our thoughts and actions.
  1. We have the power to shape the future of technology. By taking a critical and thoughtful approach to our use of technology, we can ensure that it serves humanity rather than enslaving us. We must remember that we are in control, not technology.
