Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 298 pages. Winner, 2009 Sally Hacker Prize given by the Society for the History of Techn ology (SHOT). and Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2006 Technology matters, w rites David Nye, because it is inseparable from being human. We have used tools for more than 100,000 years, and their central purpose has not always been to pr ovide necessities. People excel at using old tools to solve new problems and at inventing new tools for more elegant solutions to old tasks. Perhaps this is bec ause we are intimate with devices and machines from an early age--as children, w e play with technological toys: trucks, cars, stoves, telephones, model railroad s, Playstations. Through these machines we imagine ourselves into a creative rel ationship with the world. As adults, we retain this technological playfulness wi th gadgets and appliances--Blackberries, cell phones, GPS navigation systems in our cars. We use technology to shape our world, yet we think little about the c hoices we are making. In Technology Matters, Nye tackles ten central questions a bout our relationship to technology, integrating a half-century of ideas about t echnology into ten cogent and concise chapters, with wide-ranging historical exa mples from many societies. He asks: Can we define technology? Does technology sh ape us, or do we shape it? Is technology inevitable or unpredictable? (Why do ex perts often fail to get it right?)? How do historians understand it? Are we usin g modern technology to create cultural uniformity, or diversity? To create abund ance, or an ecological crisis? To destroy jobs or create new opportunities? Shou ld the market choose our technologies? Do advanced technologies make us more sec ure, or escalate dangers? Does ubiquitous technology expand our mental horizons.…
