We have been so desensitized by a hundred and fifty years of ceaselessly expanding technical prowess that we think nothing less complex and showy than a computer or a jet bomber deserves to be called “technology” at all. As if linen were the same thing as flax — as if paper, ink, wheels, knives, clocks, chairs, aspirin pills, were natural objects, born with us like our teeth and fingers — as if steel saucepans with copper bottoms and fleece vests spun from recycled glass grew on trees, and we just picked them when they were ripe... One way to illustrate that most technologies are, in fact, pretty “hi,” is to ask yourself of any manmade object, Do I know how to make one?

(re)commencer des études en anthropologie, avoir envie de parler d'anthropologie, ne pas savoir de quoi parler ni comment parler d'anthropologie car je suis en L1 et je n'ai pour l'instant pas eu le temps de finir un seul livre d'anthropologie.
