Ellul

I really like Ellul's sociological perspective on technology. The examples he provided in the video of heart transplants technology (which is good) but is fed by the negative consequence of car accidents. He has a  very good point. Both theology and sociology study how progress leads to devastating consequences for others. More technology has led to an ailing environment and technological progress often comes at the expense of workers who make wages barely enough to live on. Before this class I had not thought of technological progress as negative in any way, but I am beginning to see that it does have clear negative consequences.
