Ellul

With Ellul, we saw that machines or gadgets are not what he thinks of as technology. Ellul sees technology as a technique, a way of life reflected in a machine. This viewpoint of technology is a whole way of life and we cannot see the impact because it is so vital. The efficiency of this technique or technology shapes our ideas and social values. I would agree with Ellul. We use technology to make our life easier and we have become so wrapped around the concept of technology and how much easier it has made our lives, that we now begin to think of every aspect of life as being as efficient as possible, and that often times will involve technology.
