Except …… the technologies of advertising (images, sounds, etc.), most people argue that technology is devoid …… feelings, emotions and values.
Technology for most people is cold and incapable …… the types of intimacy found in everyday human life. Some people tend to feel that technology is neutral and any emotions associated …… particular technologies are dependent …… the way they are used. Others feel that technology is inherently good or inherently bad, and trust or distrust particular technologies. Some of these people concede that certain technologies have emotions, such as anger or pleasure that are embedded …… the technology itself. They acknowledge that some technologies are quite durable and impervious to uses other than which they are designed. The technologies retain the imprint of the early intentions of their designers. The initial fixing of technologies is a powerful determinant of their uses overtime, similar …… the initial denning of concepts and phrases. Other people who concede that technology has emotions or values admit that some technologies are quite pliable. These people suggest that technologies readily respond to various uses. So we arrive …… a crucial question. Is it technologies or people that emote? Or is it both? We can also ask: If technology is so cold and devoid of emotion and values, then how can it generate such strong feelings and visceral responses? The key to understanding the interrelations …… technology and emotions is to avoid falling …… the trap of original essences (Latour, 2000). Neither technologies nor people are immutable and neither has eternal qualities. Technologies change when they are used and people change when using technologies. One lesson is that technology and feelings cannot be separated. Technology in action necessarily generates emotions. A driver in a car may feel mobile and independent or trapped and dependent. Theorists argue that the spectrum of feelings for technology extends …… technophilia (love of technology) to technomania (obsession with technology) to technophobia (fear of technology), or … technocracy (basic trust in technology) to luddism (basic mistrust of technology). They note that relationships …… technology are rarely either love or hate, but most often fall somewhere in between. The more scientific theorists dismiss feelings that tend to extremes as irrational and overly subjective. Rational feelings are moderate, or moderated …… objective facts about the nature of technology and human nature. Is it possible to stay cool and objective or do we uncontrollably have feelings, one way or another, toward technology? As teachers, can we merely advise children and teenagers to stay cool, or do we have to take their feelings …… account?
