An Interview with Michael Spence

In this interview, Michael Spence brings up an interesting topic. He describes the relationship between technology and our thinking capacity. As new technology is being introduced into our society, he feels that this is unnecessary. There is nothing wrong with the technology, but it has to due with our capacity to control the technology. In a sense, he is trying to say that technology nowadays is taking over our will. Some individuals are consumed by technology and spend countless hours on it. He states that we have not developed "the inner discipline, the inner strength, to know when to use the possibilities and when they've become destructive," I think we need to realize and identify our internal strength. Developing discipline can allow one to overcome the internal conflict that technology can bring. We cannot allow technology to consume our lives.
