About This Blog

mstanford12

For many of us, it's easy to think of technology as an entity unto itself. It's so easy to get lost in the continual advances that are made--how these new devices and capabilities make life more convenient or efficent--that we only realize much later that our entire world has been changing around us all along. This blog is meant to open up for discussion the large-scale changes in the political sphere that are effected by technology--for better or for worse--and to bring to our attention the very real influence that technology has on everyone, not just an exclusive group of enthusiasts.
