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

Journal #3
Albert Borgmann's thoughts that information is taken over every inch of space in the world is soon to become reality. Every day companies come up with new ideas on how to advertise their latest product. Soon every ones car will look like the cars raced in NASCAR. Borgmann says that information has gone so far as to profane even the sacred precinct of Yankee Stadium's baseball diamond. baseball was once Americas game, people would go to the ballpark to have a quite family after-noon and interact with other people. Now theres not a second that goes by at the ballpark where there isn't some advertisement thrown into your face. Eventually i think that people will become feed up with the flood of information and stop going until things change. There isn't a place in America today where you can avoid information and its hard to relax faced with so much information. TV would be awesome if there weren't any commercials!
