Laws applying to Technology

When looking at the laws that Kranzberg’s and looking into the least and most beneficial or important it opens my eyes at how people view technology compared to me. When comparing the laws I feel that the least relevant law of Kranzberg’s I think is law number five, ‘All history is relevant, but the history of technology is the most relevant.’ I think that this is the least relevant law because if people were going to go out of there way to learn the history of what made this piece of technology or how the piece of technology was made or how it work sor why this piece of technology was made then they should live able to do that. I do not believe that it is very important for people to be forced to learn about all those questions on the background of technology. Instead I believe that we should give options, classes for those who want to learn about the background and behind the scenes persay of technology and those who want to learn how to use and master technology. People now a days are not the best with using technology so if we offer more and more life skill classes about teaching how to use technology in life then I feel it would be more beneficial. The most important law I think is law number one ‘Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral.’ Law number one is the most important because it gives people an option or choice of their own to either use social media to interact with society with a positive or negative manner. However there is never a neither or neutral side to how a user uses social media and its outcomes. People can choose to make the world a better place and spread kindness throughout the internet and society. People can also choose to be debby downers and make the world a more negative place by cyberbullying everyone and being mean. Thus leading to me to believe that the history of technology is not as important of the how to use technology. Yet people’s outlook to how they choose to use social media to interact with society.
