Andreas Kuswara's insight:
I don’t know about his comment in the ‘significance’ of the recent innovation in comparison to the older technologies, I guess volume itself can’t be the only measure to use to measure; but I agree that technology is neutral, it’s neither beneficial nor disadvantageous by itself.
Thus as Noam said, behind any significant use of technology, there should be a well-constructed conceptual apparatus which will determine the positive or negative impact of using that technology; therefore it’s important to know how to evaluate a technology to fully appreciate and understand it.
