Andrew Feenberg argued that democracy can transform technology and I like to believe that is true. I want to believe that my interests and values can change technology and will be considered in the development of new technology. I want to believe that I have a voice that will be heard and respected.
In the future I would like to see technology produced at its current rate of progression and I do not want to delay advancements while we sit in think tanks and discuss the affects. I want consideration for my interests in the initial design. It is a touchy area because once technology is created it becomes more difficult to change without being ceased. I want the innovators to know that they stand to lose a great deal of money if they do not consider the majority of the people. We have proven in the past that we are a nation of great resolve and when we rebel our mark is left.
