We must understand technology in order to live responsibly before the Creator because, although most of us are not directly involved in doing technology, we are all consumers of the fruits of technology and live in a society suffused with modes of thought shaped by technology. To understand technology, we need to be aware of it, to comprehend its nature and to recognize the role it plays in culture.
