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

Borgmann Readings
Both of these readings reflect the technology that us humans never really thought would ever be considered technology. Humans never would have thought that the simple thing as writing with ink on paper would ever be technology when really it was a very important form of technology. This form of technology let us have a new form of communication between one another. Rather then just having the traditonal communication of talking and having smoke signals the writing allowed people to communicate through letters. This made communication much more efficient and people did not have to see the person face to face to communicate. This technology is something that we should really appreciate for the simple fact that is helped us so much.
