In other words what kind of acts, by whom, and in what manner would make your four points above possible. I think one assumption that bears scrutiny is that technology is driving this change. Rather I think we might look at the new affordances that they offer to our existing human condition. What I mean by this is to ask what hindrances do technologies sweep away that allow for the growth of already existing human characteristics? I am assuming that we are not creating a new homo techologensus unless some mutant is being born among us even now. How does this new system make humanity better? I guess we need to start looking around for examples of both better and worse.
