(2/4) The #CivicsOfTechnology project has a set of questions on its curriculum page for cultivating technoskepticism. The questions are: 

1. What does society give up for the benefits of the technology
2. Who is harmed and who benefits from the technology?
3. What does the technology need?
4. What are the unintended or unexpected changes caused by the technology?
5. Why is it difficult to imagine the world without the technology?
