Neil Postman's point of view

I agree with most of the things that Neil Postman says in his article "Five Things We Need to Know about Technological Change".  Technology does come at a price, there are winners and losers, and changes caused by technology are ecological.  In one way or another, these statements are true most of the time.  They are also relative.  Price in this case has a negative connotation, being something that is unwillingly given.  But this isn't always the case.  The things that people give up because of technology could be willingly given.  I imagine that there were several farmers that gladly gave up their sickle for a combine harvester.   Being a winner or a loser is often left to our point of view.  McDonald's is coming out with a machine that will take food orders for customers instead of the employees.  Some could consider the employees losers in this scenario.  They could also be winners if they take this opportunity to go find a better and more meaningful job.  It depends on your point of view.  So these statements that Postman are making are mostly right, but he's choosing to look at it in a negative light, and there are other ways of looking at it.
