Postman's Technopoly

I was very engrossed in this book. I had never thought about how we as a society are controlled by not only the visible technology of computers and such but also by the invisible stuff like IQ scores and statistics. Postman believes that the computer and technology intrude into culture and I have to say that I do not see it that way. The computer can integrate culture into technology and visa versa to enhance society. After reading this book I did take a look at my daily routine to see how often I am controlled by a technology decision and found it to be so intermeshed in my life that I couldn't distinguish between the tech part and the non-tech part.
