Technology is the principal force determining the way in which modern people live, and is the decisive force in modern history.

Through the 19th and most of the 20th centuries, the principal problem to which technology was applied was that of production.

Production is no longer the decisive factor.

Today, we are applying technology to new problems....

What principal problems are we applying technology towards now, in the 21st century?

-Processing of information and the regulation of human behavior (ie thru propaganda).

Therefore, technology I believe, determines the way we live.
