Stumbled across this quote today and thought it was applicable to our discussions in Tech and Tools.
When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution… Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress.
Politics of the Very Worst, Paul Virilio. New York, Semiotext(e), 1999, p. 89
