Commentary: Orientation in technological space

Orientation in technological space by Albert Borgmann: “Like addiction, cyber disorientation is the restless pursuit of the unobtainable. The Internet inflames and disappoints the desire for news in an endless cycle of ever more diverse and seductive news. Disorienting addiction can have grave consequences when a youngster gets lost in video games or the global economy gets trapped in speculations. We’re ready to recognize and remedy such calamities. What remains largely unattended is the mild and pervasive disorientation that secludes us from one another and occludes the burdens and blessings of reality.”
