Today, I was talking with my lecturer about technology and culture. He said that several philosopher which used to be pointed when talking about this subject are Martin Heiddeger, Michel Foucault and Paul Virilio. The last name is new for me. Virilio see relation between technology and culture to analyze war.
This one of his quote which I took from Wiki: “The first deterrence, nuclear deterrence, is presently being superseded by the second deterrence: a type of deterrence based on what I call ‘the information bomb’ associated with the new weaponry of information and communications technologies. Thus, in the very near future, and I stress this important point, it will no longer be war that is the continuation of politics by other means, it will be what I have dubbed ‘the integral accident’ that is the continuation of politics by other means. “
Lately, technical artifact is no longer the main issue, information does. It influence how our daily life run, such as how we talk, choose our cloth, and in the election time, who will we choose to be the next leader. Of course, there are still reality beyond the appearance, but can we still recognize it?
