The Technium: What Technology Wants - 0 views

  • None of these parts operate independently. No mechanical system can function by itself. Each bit of technology requires the viability and growth of all the rest of technology to keep going. There is no communication without the nerves of electricity.

      In nature, most things happens because of some other action. Land is created when lava pours out of a volcano. Technology follows a simlilar path. The growth of technology depends on the technology around it.
  • Once they discover electricity, their electronics will share some, but not all, attributes with our electrical devices. That which they share can be counted as the inherent agenda of electrical technology. Throughout  the galaxy any civilization  that invents nuclear power will hit  upon a small set of workable solutions: that set is the inherent "agenda" of technology.
  • ) More importantly, the major predecessor system to technology is organic life. Many of the dynamics of evolution and syntropy extend from living organisms into artificial systems, primarily because they share similar disequilibrial states.

  • In the long run, technology increases the speed at which it evolves and encourages its own means of invention to change. It aims to keep the game of change going.
