Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Question
I understand where Dreyfus is coming from when he says that with the Press, specifically, the Internet, we, the Public, aren't ever going to be able to make a set comittment to an issue because we are constantly presented with both sides of every issue presented. However, I'm having a hard time with Dreyfus' criticism of public opinion. The way I understood his accusation is that we are presented with information via the Internet, newspapers, or news programs-we are not actively involved in many world issues and ,therefore, are unable to form an educated opinion about such issues. My question is, what does Dreyfs suggest as a solution or an alternative? Where should we get our information to create a stronger comittment to issues?
