We all know that people have politics, not things. To discover either virtues or evils in aggregates of steel, plastic, transistors, integrated circuits, and chemicals seems just plain wrong, a way of mystifying human artifice and of avoiding the true sources, the human sources of freedom and oppression, justice and injustice. Blaming the hardware appears even more foolish than blaming the victims when it comes to judging conditions of public life.
I find it quite interesting how the idea that technology itself is neutral is being underscored; after all, it's how people use it that defines its impact on society. It challenges us to stop blaming the "machines" or the "system" and instead examine the human choices that shape these tools and systems, whether they result in justice or oppression.
