Core Concept Conversation: What is technology?
cj3y10

I like Ursula Franklin's notion of technology as the way things are done around here, i.e. technology as practice. It's a pinch from Kenneth Boulding.  

Franklin, U. M. (2004). The Real World of Technology (Kindle ed.). Toronto, Canada: Anansi

Quoting Franklin, " He pointed out that there is a technology of prayer as well as of ploughing; there are technologies to control fear as well as to control flood."

Fabulous piece of work. Too much to say about it. So on the money!
