But I just saw James write (the part you neglected to quote): "The question of which technologies are you for or against is absurd. Technology is not political, its application is. The question of whether to use a pulley or a lever has no political consequences. The social relations between the users and the owners of the levers and pulleys do."

 since technology does not develop autonomously, surely the decision/process to develop this or that technology is political, the social relations thing is in play from initiation...    michael hoover
