How to See Tech Like a Luddite w/ Jathan Sadowski
Tech Won't Save Us
Tech Perspectives: Mechanic vs. Luddite
This chapter explores two contrasting approaches to materialist analysis of technology: the mechanic's focus on machine functionality and the Luddite's emphasis on socio-political implications. The discussion highlights the importance of combining technical knowledge with an awareness of technology's societal impacts, advocating for the democratization of technical skills. By examining the complexities of modern technological systems and the barriers to repair and understanding, the chapter critiques the elitist structures that hinder public engagement with technology.
