Re: Social Implications of Technology (none / 0)

As Dirac once said, "that is a statement, not a question".

A list of domains of human activity is given, and within each item a list of technologies, in increasing order of cost (and therefore, from "technology of the poor" to "technology of the rich").

"It's the statue, man, The Statue."

I think I understand better then. I was thinking that the first one appealed to the poor and the second to the rich. Then there were more than one item listed and I saw things like trains listed (in the US trains are the domain of the wealthy) and became very confused.
