Technopoly
This blog was probably the hardest to do and think about because it contained almost all the ideas and concepts that we have been studying in class. The hardest thing was to think about technology as an order of nature. Technopoly to my understanding is the idea that the benefits and the faults of technology is not distributed equally among the people, depending on their social status. Technology has both good things and bad things and usually the people that take advantage of the good things do it in the expense of others. There are people that win and people that loss and usually without knowing it the losers are cheering the winners on because they think that the new technology's benefits will touch their lives for good but in many cases they don't and only harm them.
Thinking of technology as an order of nature, from what I understood, is the way that technology is developed to through the ideas of nature. Taking about the La Sagrada Familia the beams of the building reflect the same shapes or structure that nature forms. This new way of creating a building was and still is technologically advanced but it is simple enough that it could be tided into technology. The hardest forms like the Frank Garry's building are the simplest forms in nature and technology is just making this representation of nature possible. Technology is changing the world but at the same time it is changing it with the thing that has here since the beginning of time, nature.
