Technology and Society

Am a regular visitor to Virginia Postrel and recently she posted an article excerpting Eugene Miller. Her links steer us to Tech Central Station where we can find three article by Miller, here, and here and here.

Interesting reading on technology and how society reacts to it. Philosophical discussions at times can seem pretty removed from reality but when you think about it, ideas are what drives public policy and guess who helps make public policy? Politicians. Indeed, it is easy (and they make it easy) to belittle politicians but they do have an impact on our society because they enshrine ideas into public policy and ideas are what makes the world go around for good or ill.
