“Technology needs to be examined as a method of power and control.”

“What needs to be emphasized is that technologies are developed and used within 
a particular social, economic, and political context. They arise out of a social 
structure, they are grafted to it, and they may reinforce it or destroy it, 
often in ways that are neither foreseen nor foreseeable.”

“All these infrastructures could have been designed differently if the first 
design priority had been human development rather than technological development. 
Many technological systems, when examined for context and overall design, are 
basically anti-people. People are seen as sources of problemes while technology 
is seen a source of solutions.”
