Technology Education and the Search for Truth, Beauty and Love
Open Access
|Mar 1997Abstract
In her Parade Magazine column, Marilyn vos Savant, identified in the Guinness Book of World Records as holder of the world's “Highest IQ,” responded to a letter writer's earnest question, “Is there anything in the world not affected by technology?” Her answer: “Yes. There's truth, beauty, love and the hiccups” (vos Savant, 1996, p. 18). Leaving the hiccups for later, here I would like to suggest that technology actually embodies and actively promotes specific versions of “truth, beauty and love” (Mitcham, 1995; Chandrasekhar, 1987).
