Voice over for technological determinism vs. social determinism...

Skylar mentions it so if I can do a voice over and really explain it with people interacting with technology in the background that could really work...then some how transition into this idea that you should go out into the world and meet some people.

Thoughts...

There is much discussion on the theories of technological determinism is correct or whether social determinism is correct. Technological Determinism is the idea that as technology develops, society changes because it is influenced by these developments. Therefore, technology was created and we were effected, it is cause and effect. While social determinism counteracts this idea and questions, how can an activity initiated by humans possibly be outside of society? Someone created technology, and eventually people were sold by advertisers the idea that they needed these new technologies to survive in the world. So instead of cause and effect it was wants and needs that affected our actions. Overall it is hard to separate technological and social determinism because they are so closely linked, and in general people have lost track of what really did come first. I think that the best way to understand technology is to take a step back from it at times and go out and do something that doesn't include it. Don't let it control your life.
