Most contemporary accounts of the role of technology in world
culture are alarmist and, at times, condemn many uses of technology
without much effort to get beyond the surface of this worldwide
phenomenon. Technological innovations that might rightly be
critiqued are taken as representative of the entire field of
technology. On the other hand, there are those, including some
scientists, for whom technology and its uses pose no questions at
all and who seem to delight in predictions of a future totally
dominated by technology. They prey on the human delight in newness
and innovation and on our readiness to be surprised by what may
someday come to be. Gotz takes the position that so-called
technology problems are really "our" problems, not the fault of
technology.
Technology is an integral part of what we are as human beings, a
significant aspect of our evolution. Gotz also advances the thesis
that technology may be viewed from the perspective of the human
capacity to grow, and that when we do so, we are, in effect,
spiritualizing technology and rendering it more meaningful to
ourselves. Gotz suggests several models that may be employed to
achieve this spiritualization. This provocative analysis will be of
interest to general readers as well as scholars, students, and
researchers concerned with contemporary social and religious
issues.
