        distinction between wisdom and manupulation/competive advantage not always clear
        
        e.g. Obama campaign and fundraising advanced data techniques: rapid response or manipulative medium ? #
      - defines as "enhancement"
    - - enhancement = "more"
        
        More what?
        
        more perception
        
        more processing
        
        more data
        
        Then don't we need more ethical ability or more focus on ethics to handle these capacities?
        
        Examples of "enhancement" Prensky admits a fully ethical response to the technological capacity is beyond what he wants to contribute

        Shift in relationship between human and technology: technology or enhancement suggests conclusion or approach rather than verifying it (208)

        (3) cultural structure: "White argues that these three views interpenetrate each other to create a vision of technology as a 'sociotechnical system in which hardware, technique, and a particular ideological frame of reference combine to aid in the pursuit of essentially pragmatic ends, generally associated with the augmentation of human capabilities'" (p. 21)

    - - pragmatic use
      - human creativity/agency
      - creative use
      - relationship of mutual influence between human and technology: "feedback loops" (22)
  - - - e.g. business model churches
    - - e.g. Jacques Ellul: emphasizes negative tradeoffs of benefits
    - - e.g. Pontifical Council for Social Communications
  - - - The authors acknowledge printed text as new primary form of transmission of ideas, resulting in increased literacy and access and dissemination of:
      - naturalistic Enlightenment natural philosophy
      - Reformation ideas and dissent: Here the authors stress the technology's power to create access rather than to "control" or "standardize" (p. 28).
      - Takeaway: Authors' historiographical version of history of writing technology reveals their assumptions/commitments.
