Can we shape technology as much as it shapes us? Or do we need to resign ourselves to the specter of technology out of control? If we do argues Luke Fernandez, we truly do become its victims:
But even if our lives are constrained and pushed in certain directions, we have some agency. To deny that would be to succumb to the most nihilistic form of technological determinism. If we believe that we can shape technology as much as it shapes us we can hold out the hope of at least playing some minor role in influencing the direction that the university takes in the information age.
