Problem: There are different interpretations of the role of technology in society. Some scholars argue that technology is a separate sphere that augments human ability and helps solve real-life problems. However, it is not correct to treat them as inseparable. Others insist that human civilization starts with the emergence and subsequent evolution of technology, thus it is impossible to think about society and people as separate entities. In other words, humans are equal to technology and the development of technology and society is one indistinguishable process. Which point of view do you agree with and why? Please support your opinion and provide concrete and diverse historical examples.
