This article was a great read, it touches on some important topics related to the philosophy of technology which was a focus of study for me in college. The author's ideas about the lack of empathy in the tech industry and the consequences thereof are interesting but I don't entirely agree. While technology is designed with a specific purpose it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to predict how it will be utilized by people. It is within the nature of technology that it builds upon itself, and while one person may design something that has very strict perameters upon which it can be implemented, we can't say how someone else might use that as a foundation for something unaticipated. I love the idea of technolgy being designed with empathy in mind; however, once it is out there in the hands of the users the effect it has on society is within the control of those using it, not those who created it.
