A Rant on Technology      Ursula K.Le Guin

• Technology is the active human interface with the material world.
• “Technology" and "hi tech" are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't "hi," isn't necessarily "low" in any meaningful sense.”
• One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty "hi," is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?
• Some proper respect for "low" or "primitive" or "simple" technologies
