Part Two - technology is the "ontology of the age"

In response to a post over at Ressourcement, the following needs to be said.

My blog has not "folded." Please do not misrepresent the facts of my case. It just will not be as active as it once was (i.e. daily posts) and I will limit my posting to more important matters. I still value the internet, but it's a prudential matter on how a person chooses to use it. Like Dr. Chris Burgwald at Veritas or yourself, sometimes there are more important matters which should take priority - our job, our families, our friends, our local communities, etc. There must be a balance my friend. Even Blosser and Hand recognize this as you do as well I hope.

For your information, Hittinger first published his article at a conference, which was put into a book. Only later did it go on-line. Very little of Senior's or Brende's work is on-line. Eric doesn't even own a computer, very much like Wendell Berry. I know this for a fact. I have been to Eric's home. The article by Arnold was an explanation on why the Bruderhof Community killed their popular website. There is a lot of truth in what they write.

I feel the questions on "how much technology is good" and "can it de-humanize us" are important. Dawson, Guardini, Schindler and many others have asked similar questions. It's worthy of further research as Blosser would say.

If you have not read it, I refer you to the original post which began this discussion.
