Questions regarding David Nye's "Can We Define Technology?"

Each person in the class is required to bring in a prop/item.
-I want each person to tell me a practical use for their prop (one that is different than it's original use) because on Pages 9 and 10 Nye talks about how the use for technology came before the application of theories and reasoning.

Throughout the story, David hints on the topic of technological determinism which states that the technology we create  impacts our social interactions.

-Do you feel that this is true? if so, why or why not?

-How does technology impact jobs?

-What are the advantages and disadvantages of technology?

-What are your personal definitions of technology?
While doing some extra research I discovered an interesting topic; David Chandler's Inevitability Thesis which states "Once technology is introduced to a culture it's development is inevitable"
-Do you agree with this?  Can you argue this?
