Californian Ideology

It is very interesting to read The Californian Ideology and how it has turned out in the present day.  The shift to a technological age with unlimited resource sharing has not had quite the detrimental effect that Cameron (1996) states.  Cameron states that “The developers of hypermedia must reassert the possibility of rational and conscious control over the shape of the digital future”.  However, other than the overwhelming trend of heightened obesity rates, many new forms of technology have improved our connection with one another.  We can speak to each other face-to-face over a computer (skype) and keep updated on ongoing events so that we are aware of events that exist in society.  This will prevent such events as World War 2 from happening as our world as a whole is more aware of ongoing issues throughout each country.  I do not believe there needs to be a limit on technological empowerment as we each use it for our own needs (http://www.toymakerproject.com/what-is-technological-empowerment/).
