The Dark Side of Technology
By:Peter Townsend
Published on 2017-01-12 by Oxford University Press

The Dark Side of Technology is aimed at a mass market of intelligent people who are concerned about human progress, interested or amused by many of the unexpected consequences of technological advance, and probably unaware of the dangers which we are accruing for ourselves. Although the book spans a very wide spectrum of ideas, no previous scientific knowledge is required. Other books have focussed on different topic areas, but none have previously presented thegenerality of the patterns across medicine to agriculture, electronics, communications, a global economy and a burgeoning population. Technology invariably advances faster than our understanding of sideeffects, or our realisation that we have become vulnerable to natural events that could eliminate advanced nations, nor that mutagenic changes may not be apparent for one or two generations. This is therefore both an alarm call and a guide to survival.

Don't you sort of loathe how we've entered the decadent period of Goodreads wherein probably fifty % (or more) of the evaluations written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed in their variously powerful efforts at being arch, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Do not you type of wood (secretly, in the marrow of one's gut's merry druthers) for the good ol'times of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all reviews were consistently plainspoke Do not you type of hate how we have joined the decadent phase of Goodreads whereby perhaps fifty percent (or more) of the reviews written by non-teenagers and non-romancers are now actually bare and unabashed inside their variously effective attempts at being arc, wry, meta, parodic, confessional, and/or snarky? Don't you kind of pine (secretly, in the marrow of your gut's happy druthers) for the great ol'days of Goodreads (known then as GodFearingGoodlyReading.com) when all opinions were consistently plainspoken, only effective, unpretentious, and -- most importantly otherwise -- boring, boring, dull? Do not you kind of loathe when people claim'don't you believe in this manner or feel like that'in an endeavor to goad you both psychologically and grammatically into agreeing together? In the words of ABBA: I do, I really do, I do(, I really do, I do). Properly, as the interwebs is really a earth in which yesteryear stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the current (and with fetish porn), we can review yesteryear in their inviolable presentness anytime we wish. Or at least until this website finally tanks. Consider (won't you?) Matt Nieberle's report on Macbeth in its entirety. I've destined it with huge rope and pulled it here for your perusal. (Please understand that many a sic are intended in the next reviews.) their really complicated and silly! why cant we be examining like Romeo and Juliet?!?! at least that guide is good! There you have it. Refreshingly, not just a evaluation published in one of many witch's comments or alluding to Hillary and Bill Clinton or discussing the reviewer's first period. Just a primal shout unleashed in to the dark wilderness of the cosmos.Yes, Mr. Nieberle is (probably) a teen, but I admire his ability to strongarm the temptation to be clever or ironic. (Don't you?) He speaks the native language of the idk generation with an economy and a quality that renders his convictions much more emphatic. Here's MICHAEL's overview of the same play. You may'know'MICHAEL; he is the'Problems Architect'only at Goodreads. (A problematic title itself in that it implies he designs problems... which can be the case, for all I know.) This book shouldn't be required reading... reading plays that that you don't want to see is awful. Reading a play kinda sucks to begin with, if it had been designed to be read, then it would have been a novel, not a play. Together with that the teach had us students read the play aloud (on person for each character for a few pages). None folks had see the play before. None of us wanted to read it (I made the mistake of taking the'easy'english class for 6 years). The teacher picked students that appeared to be they weren't paying attention. All of this compounded to produce me more or less hate reading classics for something such as 10 years (granted macbeth alone wasn't the problem). I also hate iambic pentameter. Pure activism there. STOP the mandatory reading of plays. It's wrong, morally and academically. Plus it can actually fuck up your GPA. There's no wasteful extravagance in this editorial... no fanfare, no fireworks, no linked photos of half-naked, oiled-up, big-bosomed starlets, no invented dialogues between mcdougal and the review-writer. It's simple and memorable. Being required to learn plays is wrong, and if you require anyone, under duress, to learn a play you then have sinned and will hell, in the event that you rely on hell. Or even, you're likely to the DMV. I'm also fed up with whatever you smug spelling snobs. You damnable fascists with your new-fangled dictionaries and your fancy-schmancy spell check. Sometimes the passionate immediacy of a note overcomes its spelling limitations. Also, in this age once we are taught to respect each other's differences, it appears offensively egocentric and mean-spirited to expect others tokowtow to your petty linguistic rules. Artsy concept will totally free alone regardless how you are attempting to help shackle it. That is definitely the signal, Aubrey. Around my own judgment, your perform Macbeth was the worste peice previously created by Shakespeare, and also this says quite a lot considering i additionally study his / her Romeo along with Juliet. Ontop connected with it's presently unbelievable plot of land, unlikely figures along with absolutly discusting group of morals, Shakespeare openly shows Girl Macbeth as the real vilian inside the play. Thinking of she's mearly the actual voice with the trunk game plus Macbeth themself can be truely choosing your hideous crimes, which includes murder and also sham, I can't realize why it is so uncomplicated to visualize this Macbeth might be willing to accomplish very good rather than wicked doubts the better half ended up being more possitive. I really believe until this participate in will be uterally unrealistic. Yet the examples below is the actual ne and also extremely with vintage guide reviewing. When succinct and also with no unproductive trend so that you can coyness or cuteness, Jo's assessment alludes into a indignation and so serious that must be inexpressible. A person imagines a handful of Signet Basic Updates broken in to in order to bits by using pruning shears inside Jo's vicinity. I dislike this kind of play. Because of this this I can't sometimes ensure that you get virtually any analogies or perhaps similes concerning the amount of I personally hate it. An incrementally snarkier style could possibly have explained some thing like...'I dispise the following participate in being a simile I can't surface with.' Certainly not Jo. The lady echoes some sort of organic, undecorated reality unhealthy regarding figurative language. In addition to there's certainly nothing wrong using that. As soon as throughout an incredible when, when you are getting neck-deep inside dandified pomo hijinks, it is a pleasant wallow in the hog dog pen you happen to be itchin'for. Thanks a lot, Jo. I really like both you and your in vain holding at similes that will cannot solution a bilious hatred in your heart. You might be acquire, in addition to I will be yours. Figuratively talking, regarding course. And today and here is this review: Macbeth by way of Bill Shakespeare is the greatest literary operate inside the Uk words, in addition to anybody who disagrees is definitely an asshole plus a dumbhead.
