Carl R. Trueman writes in a debut World Opinion article that Big Tech is working us over and we could barely care less.

“Parents who still think the educational choice they make for their children is the most critical decision they make are sadly mistaken. That they decide whether their children can have smartphones is likely of more importance. “

He doesn’t invoke Neil Postman’s name, but he does repeats ideas I heard from Postman first. We think of technology as assisting us, as doing our bidding, but when we ask our tech what it would like us to do, then we surrender to the tech in our hands and begin to live in a technopoly.

Trueman says technology “mediates reality to us, and in doing so, it reshapes how we imagine the world and our place within it.”
