Reforming Technology

Borgmann is unsatisfied with Pirsig's conclusion because, in Borgmann's opinion, Pirsig has ignored some key components of modern technology. While Borgmann ultimately believes we need to "reassert our mastery over the machinery of technology", Borgmann recognizes that Pirsig has overlooked the growing intricacy of technology.As the machinery of technology is becoming more invisible and more specialized, the harder it has become to engage with.The whole idea of modern technology is to disburden us, making our lives easier. For example, the concept of reconnecting with technology through fixing a motorcycle, isn't quite as easy as it used to be. With the inability to "care" for technology, it often becomes easily discardable.Unfortnately making a "connection" with technology is ultimately much easier said than done.
