Not sure how many readers may have thought that The Economist article and my response were a little 'too futuristic' but last week I heard that the US Federal Aviation Administration was looking into how to integrate UAV (Umanned Aerial Vehicles) into US domestic airspace.
Go here to for more from the FAA http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=68004
and here for a discussion http://www.cbc.ca/day6/blog/2012/06/08/unmanned-drones-pr/
As I said, the Economist has done a service in alerting us to the need to pay more attention to what is going on around us.
First we need to start a conversation, thinking through the implications is much harder.
The technological world is not just a series of unconnected artifacts without values. Philosophers of technology and science, technology and society scholars have long been interested in the connections between people and the artifacts they create and use. This blog is focussed on how Christians engage and disengage with the technologies around them. My goal is not to focus too much on one class of technologies (say electronics) but instead to focus on the depth of our technological systems.
