I would prefer this definition:
Technology: the knack of arranging the world so that we can experience it better.

I suppose it all depends on your definition of experiencing life!

Hi, nice site. Interesting quote, and I agree with you that we also have to define what it is to experience something. When technology enhances our senses, is that a better experience?

jsowin,
Came across your site yesterday and love your stuff.
Just curious as to your interest in Max Frisch. Have you ever read/seen his play “Biedermann und die Brandstifter”? Great work!!!

I got that quote from Boorstin’s The Image. I am not that familar with Frisch’s plays, but on your recommendation I’ll have to find out some more about him!
