Technology Bites Back

Peter Edman

Graeme Philipson has an interesting article on technology in the Sydney Morning Herald.

He references Why Things Bite Back by Edward Tenner.

“Technology bites back,” Sydney Morning Herald, April 9, 2005:

We surround ourselves with so much digital paraphernalia and technological impedimenta that half the time we forget why we’re here. Perhaps the machines are doing us a favour when they bite us back. They remind us that technology is not infallible and very often not even necessary. It can be fun, but so can walking on the beach or playing with the dog.
