It doesn’t show us the future but merely reflects the present and, more importantly, it reflects who we are. That is why I want to propose a better metaphor: technology is a magnifying mirror.

Instead, technology is merely a means-to-an-end, a tool. In other words, technology is merely “how” we do things and not “what” we want or “why” we do them. So, technology means words or discourse or a conversation about the way things are gained. Logos means word, the utterance by which inward thought is expressed, a saying, or an expression. Techne means art, skill, craft, or the way, manner, or means by which a thing is gained. The word technology comes from two Greek words – techne and logos. Then we can judge whether the etymological meaning of the word supports the above metaphor or some alternatives that I will propose. To evaluate the crystal ball metaphor, we have to first understand the etymology of the word technology – what it means and stands for, or at least what it used to mean and stand for. But the Crystal Ball perception of technology is not only a myth. Clarke’s famous 3rd law states that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” And so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that modern technology has become synonymous with the crystal ball from our old fairy tales. I call this “the Crystal Ball” myth because I grew up with the witches and wizards’ fairy tales where magic crystal balls gave them the ability to see the future. “Come and see this amazing new technology,” we often hear, “And you will see the future.” Perhaps the most popular and maybe even the most dangerous myth about technology is the myth that technology allows us to see the future. Finally, I will conclude by arguing that story is the core technology of our civilization. I will then look at the etymological origins as well as several definitions of the term. I will begin this chapter by looking at the most popular myths about technology. The 1st atomic bomb was nicknamed “gadget.” Does this fact say something about who we are? Or does it say something about the nature of technology and the power to do good or evil? Technology improves the lives of people who can avoid being dominated by it and forced into debilitating addictions to it.
