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

Intrumentalist
I suppose I would consider myself an instrumentalist as opposed to a substantive or a pluralist. I do not feel like humans have zero control because of technology as a substantive person would feel. I feel that we have total control and that we use technology to reach our goals. I mean after all...we are the ones who thought up and created the technology. I feel sorry for those who think that technology is out to get them or is out to ruin their life. I do agree that our lives become too revolved around technology and need to slow down, but I do not think that technology has some sort of hold or control over us.
