Was Noble's work overly critical of technology?
Some might perceive my analysis as overly critical, but I was not against technology itself. My focus was on the *social relations* embedded within its development and deployment. The critique was directed at the ways in which technology has been harnessed by dominant economic and political forces to maintain power, to de-skill workers, and to create systems of control. The goal was to reveal the social choices made, not to deny human ingenuity.
