Cathy Davidson wrote a response to Bill Keller’s article on the pitfalls of twitter, “The Twitter Trap.” She defends technology with some historical and neuroscience-based evidence, calling for a restructuring of our habits, instead of a complete dismissal of current technological changes.
“But that’s not about technology, it’s about humanity. Between the human brain and the computer screen, comes us, our will, our desires, our habits, our training, our work, our incentives, our motivations, our culture, our society, our institutions, all of the things that make us human. It’s NOT the Technology, Stupid! It is about what we–you and me–do with the technology. It always has been, it always will be.”
