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

As I begin reading Dreyfus’s book On Internet I begin to question just what he was asking and after reading I began to truly agree with the fact that technology is taking us away as far as relationship with other humans and placing us behind an isolated computer for the way of communication, such as email instant messaging the famous college websites all to communicate with friends, friends that without computers we would be forced to go see and talk to instead of typing messages these such messages that have replaced the tone of voice of just how we are feeling with short sayings that we tell the person on the other screen such as LOL this letting a person no we are joking because they can’t tell by the tone in our voice. To look at technology in the since of just how dependent we as a society are on it and how much it consumes our life it fascinates me that we try and try to better the technology but the fact that we still need to step out and away from behind the computers and truly connect with one another face to face.
