Carse's concept of looking at life as a game isn't anything new. It's been a key part of Scientology.Thanks for the book citation. I'll have to look and see what's there. Carse has something interesting with finite versus infinite games - however awkwardly said.
The concept of technology being broader in scope than electronics/computers is actually inherent in the word itself.
True. Postman points this out - and then looks at what the word has come to mean in society today. What people don't think to include is language, teachers, culture or questions. Those things disappear from attention unless someone calls attention to them and sort of inrich the discussion by bringing them up.
I guess I'm so used to looking at a broad scope that it never occurs to me that the scope could be narrowed.
I carry a pocket-knife. Humanity's first invention (as opposed to discovery), and still one of the most useful pieces of technology ever. And I think of it that way. I guess that probably says something about me. Not sure what, or if it's good/bad/indifferent.
