[Air-L] Technology as ideologically neutral?

[MacDougall, Robert]

Glad to see this topic getting so much interest.  I undertake a pretty thoroughgoing analysis and critique of the neutral tech idea in this book just out::

Digination: Identity, Organization, and Public Life in the Age of Small Digital Devices and Big Digital Domains
FDU Press, Robert MacDougall (2012)
http://www.amazon.com/Digination-Identity-Organization-Digital-Communication/dp/1611474396

And in this edited volume the same critique is threaded through every chapter contributed:

Drugs & Media: New Perspectives on Communication, Consumption, and Consciousness
Continuum, Robert MacDougall, Ed (2012)
http://www.amazon.com/Drugs-Media-Perspectives-Communication-Consciousness/dp/1441134921/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1341547822&sr=1-1&keywords=drugs+and+media


Both links lead to the "look inside" feature on Amazon when you can browse a bit.  Would love to hear folks' thoughts.
