Technology has shaped human lives through the history of the world. Be it the usage of compass that led to the navigations of the New World or the steam engine that made production and distribution of goods worldwide feasible and globalization possible or be it the world of digital technologies that has made it possible for us to connect with anyone in any part of the world at any given time. True, the world, its people and social structure have been ever evolving but technologies have accelerated the pace of evolution and impacted how we live, behave, interact and envision our future. With the passage of time, the wave of technologies has come faster and quicker one after another, leading even some to conclude that human lives have become technologically determined. The richest corporations today are not the ones producing goods for human consumption but for are the one producing technologies, drawing in a complex interplay of state, politics and capital that threatens to impact every aspect of human lives.
