Review / Book Claims Technology Is The Root Of All Evil :
A 3 page essay on Jerry Mander's "In The Absence of The
Scared" -- a book that blames technology for many of society's
modern-day problems. From listing the pollution and
health-related aspects of computers, their overly quick-paced
rate of change, and warping of our personal mental conception
abilities to scrutinizing corporate behavior and
socio-economical politics, the book paints a somewhat morbid
picture of a cluttered and quite sloppy world which we have
created through technology. Mander is particularly interested in
the nature-conscious culture of Native Indians and urges us to
follow their vanishing model. No other sources cited.
