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

Wealth and the Good Life
In life we all want all the wealth in the world and want to be living in the so called "Good life". Albert Borgmann talks about how the actual focal concern that we will see is misguided to think that focal things are being enetered in a competition with the concept of engagement and the Aristotelian Principle in a quest to reform technology. He says that only things that we experience as greater and other than ourselves can move us to judge and change technology in the first place. In life we have to go out experience the real things in life and get the actual experience of things to really understand the real meaning behind something. I agree with Borgmann and what he said because we have to experience the greater things in life first in order to judge something and to change it into something new.
