Winner suggests that we surrogate our responsibility to these technologies. Do you think Winner is right or wrong? Be sure to give reasons for your answer and include specific technologies to support your point.\u00a0\tYou will frequently read me write in these discussions: \u00a0TECHNOLOGY INFORMS CULTURE. \u00a0One characteristic of \u00a0an ordinary human life \u00a0is that we rarely think about the culture in which we are embedded.
