I was in part very serious.  Much of the technological determinism that
exists today is can trace much of its roots to the idea of human dominion
over the world and the scientific method, which emphasizes control and
quantification of reality.

Check out Postman's "Technolpoly" for more on this.

Actually, I'm falling in love with it all over again this month.  Doesn't
mean it's the end all be all.  Just a guilty pleasure.

I have a new thread coming tomorrow.

Best,
