When we go as far into the technology as we can, stripping everything else away and breaking the problem down into its constituent bits, where do we end up? Exactly there, of course: at the literal bits, the 1s and 0s of digital computation.
These everywhere-active tech critics don't just rely, for their on-trend position-taking, on vague, nostalgist, technophobic feelings anymore. Now they have research papers to back them up.
What is hard to debunk, and what does bother me, is the one exception, in my estimation, to this rule: the anti-tech argument offered by the modern-day philosopher.
For someone trying to marshal a case against technology, a Descartes-style line of attack might go something like this: When we go as far into the technology as we can, stripping everything else away, we find the fundamental bits of digital computation.
