Basierend auf #neilpostman und #WendelBerry habe ich folgende Einkaufsberatungsliste erstellt
#technologie #ki
Teil 1
Was gewinne ich konkret durch diese neue Technologie?
Was verliere ich, was geht dabei verloren (z.B. Zeit, Fähigkeiten, soziale Kontakte)?
Welche bestehenden Probleme löst das Produkt, welche neuen entstehen?
Wer profitiert, wer könnte dadurch Nachteile haben ?
Ist das Produkt langlebig, reparierbar und ressourcenschonend? Kann ich es selbst oder lokal reparieren lassen?

“We have devalued the singular human capacity to see things whole in all their psychic, emotional and moral dimensions, and we have replaced this with faith in the powers of technical calculation.”
― #NeilPostman , Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992
I need to circle back and re-read his "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology".
I read it when it came out in 1992, but frankly don't remember much from it.
Edit: Free #PDF on archive.org! 🙂
This is from the Wikipedia entry:
"Postman considers technopoly to be the most recent of three kinds of cultures distinguished by shifts in their attitude towards technology – tool-using cultures, technocracies, and technopolies. Each, he says, is produced by the emergence of new technologies that "compete with old ones…mostly for dominance of their worldviews".

Indeed...
"Information has become a form of garbage, not only incapable of answering the most fundamental human questions but barely useful in providing coherent direction to the solution of even mundane problems." - Neil Postman

If all the secrets of adulthood, including sex, illness and death, are opened to children; cynicism, apathy or arrogance replace curiosity for them, short-circuiting education and moral development.
-- Neil Postman (The Disappearance of Childhood)

40 years ago, #NeilPostman wrote the words that become more and more relevant with every decade.
"Contrary to common belief even among the educated, #Huxley and #Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley’s vision, no #BigBrother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history."
