“Although there is a bent or slide
towards the stance of dominance, for all the reasons mentioned above, nothing
says that we have to live our
technology this way. The other modes are open. The prospect we face here is a
struggle, in which these different modes of enframing content. With
authenticity, the contest was between flatter and fuller modes of
self-fulfillment; here it pits the different frameworks against each other.
Once again, I am proposing that instead of seeing our predicament as fated to
generate a drive for ever-increasing technological control, which we will then
either rejoice or bemoan depending on our outlook, we understand it as open to
contestation, as a locus of probably unending struggle.”
