About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

What would Neil say about blogging?
"to maintain that technology is neutral, to make the assumption that technology is always a friend to culture..."
To maintain both of those statements at once would not only be plain and simple, but actually contradictory. If technology is always a friend, then it cannot be neutral.
I haven't read Postman, but I wonder if he thinks there is *any* technology that can be neutral. For instance, lets look at the most simple machine ever made: a wheel. It certainly had the ability to change culture, but was the invention of the wheel a friend to culture (used to travel), a foe of culture (used to build pagan temples and fight wars), or neutral?
