misundersytanding of how technology is the problem -need to reread what schumacher actually said to redirect technology so that it serves man instead of destroying him requires primarily an effort of the imagination and an abandonment of fear. -what's
amzing is this was written in the 1970s! The question of what technology actually
does for us is therefore worthy of investigation. It obviously greatly reduces some kinds of work while it increases other
kinds. The type of work which modern technology is most successful in reducing or even eliminating is skilful, productive
work of human hands, in touch with real materials of one kind or another. In an advanced industrial society, such work has
become exceedingly rare, and to make a decent living by doing such work has become virtually impossible. A great part of the
modern neurosis may be due to this very fact; for the human being, defined by Thomas Aquinas as a being with brains and hands,
enjoys nothing more than to be creatively, usefully, productively engaged with both his hands and his brains. Today, a person
has to be wealthy to be able to enjoy this simple thing, this very great luxury: he has to be able to afford space and good
tools; he has to be lucky enough to find a good teacher and plenty of free time to learn and practise. He really has to be
rich enough not to need a job; for the number of jobs that would be satisfactory in these respects is very small indeed | ? In playRising
