“Wired and Wild” or “Wired and Weird?”: How Technology Changes Our Relationship with Nature, Ourselves, and Others

“All our inventions are but improved means to an unimproved end.”- Henry David Thoreau

For the less technologically informed among us, a walk through the halls of the Scarfe building at UBC may elicit a kind of cognitive inadequacy. Cloaked in esoteric language like Asynchronous Learning, MOOC’s, Virtual Classrooms, and Augmented Reality, one might think that the kind of learning going on at Scarfe is directed at informing a distant generation of learners who have little time for the archaic fundamentals of the 3 R’s. What one finds when they open the door to these classrooms, however, is a running list of theorists, pedagogies, and perspectives that have been readapted, recycled, and redeployed in a more contemporary and usable framework. In other words, when the layers of technological babble are peeled back, the theory remains.

We have a tendency to romanticize educational technologies by presuming that they somehow involve more intellectual content than they actually do. Likewise, as decades of superlative-filled advertising has shown us, the greatest, fastest, easiest, and quickest gadgets rarely (if ever?) live up to the hype. (One need only look at the dust-covered “Smart Boards” in classrooms scattered throughout the province to see symbolic evidence of this.) When the mutilated remnants of industry-changing technologies are brushed aside a teacher is left with two things: their experiences and the relationships they have with their students. All else is superfluous.

What this post is not is a wide-scale critique of all technology or a foreboding of an oncoming Orwellian dystopia. Perhaps disappointingly, there is no discussion of Terminator-like robots coming to take over the world. What the reader will notice is that the forces of change are much more subtle but equally pervasive in their ability to transform society.

This blog post is an attempt to refute the idea that technology for its own sake is beneficial to our students and practice, and that unexamined adoption of technology has severe ramifications for individual and societal well-being. It is also a critical look at our insatiable desire to want to redesign schools and teaching curriculum to reflect evermore technology focused educational efforts that marginalize the value of once-great fields like the humanities. Just think about the demand put on school boards to pump out STEM-ready graduates, as if a connection to a job in engineering is the be all and end all of an education. Most importantly, this post is a discussion of some of the ways in which technology shapes not only our practice as educators, but also how it shapes us as individuals. 

A meaningful discussion of technology in the classroom does not begin (or end) with the best pedagogical approaches to incorporating it in a unit plan. The richer and more meaningful discussion can only emerge after we develop an understanding of what technology is, how and why technology is developed, and - perhaps more importantly - how individuals and society direct, react to, and are often times unknowingly changed by it. Only after we understand this can we begin to look at ways of ethically incorporating it in our practice.

In his 1985 argument Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman speaks of the Faustian Bargain where he states that “technology giveth and technology taketh away, and not always in equal measure. A new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. Sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. But it is never one-sided.” What Postman goes on to argue is that technological advances, like the printing press, helped foster the modern idea of individuality but in the process it had negative outcomes. It destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration that pre-dated it. Similarly, printing made modern science possible but transformed religious sensibility into an exercise in superstition. Although the printing press brought undeniable improvements to the world, it also negatively (and permanently) changed human relations forever. (Postman, 2006) 

Postman also discusses how Benedictine monks invented the mechanical clock in the 12th and 13th centuries believing that such a clock would provide a precise regularity to the seven periods of devotion they were required to observe. What they didn’t realize, however, was that the clock would be adopted to synchronize and control the actions of the workman and the merchant. The great paradox in this case is that while the clock was invented by men who wanted to devote themselves more rigorously to God, it became the technology of greatest use to men who wished to devote themselves to the accumulation of money. The point Postman makes beautifully is that while technology and inventions may be created by designers with intended outcomes and improvements for society, their eventual impact on society occurs organically, uncontrollably, and with permanent implications. (Postman, 2006)

The reader might be wondering what discussion of printing presses and mechanical clocks has to do with connecting the “Wired and the Wild”. After all, apps, augmented reality, and advances in communications technology are great tools that can be used to enhance learning. While this may be the case, at issue is the naivety and hollow promises made by inventors, and brilliant tech-geeks who assure us that the outcomes and use of their technology is benevolent. As the examples above indicate, there is always a Faustian Bargain involved when a new technology is adopted on a mass scale, and the unintended consequences inevitably result in permanent change. While it is impossible to predict how superimposing images on nature through augmented reality and iphone cameras will change our relations with nature, it does not seem far-fetched to imagine a time where the immediate “advantages” of perceiving it through these media change our relations with it forever. More importantly, it is not far-fetched to infer that change of some sort - for better or worse - will inevitably occur.  

One of the 20th century’s greatest philosophers, Martin Heidegger, viewed the impact of technology on nature as involving a change in not only the way that we interact with nature, but also in the way that we perceive it. With the advent of industrial technology our relationship with nature changed from being a fundamentally natural one, to one of conquest and control. In his own words:

“The earth now reveals itself as a coal-mining district, the soil as a mineral deposit. The field that the peasant formerly cultivated and set in order appears differently than it did when to set in order still meant to take care of and maintain. The work of the peasant does not challenge the soil of the field. In sowing grain it places seed in the keeping of the forces of growth and watches over its increase. But meanwhile even the cultivation of the field has come under the grip of another kind of setting-in-order, which sets upon nature.  It sets upon it in the sense of challenging it. Agriculture is now the mechanized food industry. Air is now set upon to yield nitrogen, the earth to yield ore, ore to yield uranium, for example; uranium is set upon to yield atomic energy, which can be unleashed either for destructive or for peaceful purposes.” (Clough, 2013)

What emerges from this analysis of our continual integration of ourselves with technology is that technology takes us away from that which is essentially human about ourselves. Even worse, as was discussed in the Faustian bargain examples above, we are unable to recognize the problem as a problem.

You might be laughing now, thinking that this post is nothing more than the ramblings of a Luddite or someone unwilling (or unable) to adapt to an ever-changing profession. Or - as was alluded to earlier - a blogger who read one-too many dystopian novels in high school. I ask you to consider this. In the absence of Orwell’s omniscient Big Brother, Aldous Huxley proposed a much softer, more subtle form of social change. Huxley believed that “unlike in Orwell’s 1984, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. What Orwell feared were those who would ban books, what Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture. … As Huxley remarked in Brave New World, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions. (Clough, 2013)

In light of this quotation, think about how immediate access to a limitless amount of information has changed your relationship with knowledge? How you volunteer information to apps, online shopping stores, and social networks for the “convenience” they provide. How have smartphones changed, reduced, or eliminated our need to think, especially to think deeply? A cursory glance at any one of our class-profiles is likely to reflect an increasingly unengaged and uninvolved group of students who find even the simplest tasks “too hard” or “pointless” because they have the technology in the palm of their hand that can do it for them in a fraction of the time. How much of your time is wasted away with technologies that once promised you the world, but not only didn’t deliver, left you feeling worse off than when you began? These are questions worth considering when we are peddled technologies that will revolutionize our profession, and with it future generations of children.

The inevitability of technological innovation is not something that can or should be actively resisted. As teachers we are the arbiters of information between the students we teach and the technologies that inform. Our goal in the wake of this imposing monolith should be to to attempt to develop in our students the kind of skills that no computer program or algorithm can provide. We should aim to instill in our students a curiosity to the fundamental questions we, as humans, need to address in order to make our lives more fulfilling, meaningful, and humane. We should attempt to develop ethical and thoughtful people who consider the kinds of questions worth asking. Digital technology by definition is binary. It cannot contemplate or make sense of a world that doesn’t follow predictable patterns. To put it bluntly, technology is but a tool that distracts us from what our students most need us to help them with. Can you blame technology for that? Of course not... It is, after all, only a series of 1′’s and 0′s.
