Session Submission Type: Paper Session
Jacques Ellul, French sociologist, offers a compelling case that pursuit of technology dehumanizes and demoralizes societies. In The Presence of the Kingdom, he said, “In this terrible dance which has been unleashed the aim of life has been forgotten, the end has been left behind. Man has set out a tremendous speed—to go nowhere.” This paper session considers the grounds and implications of Ellul’s thought, applying his work to the ubiquity of media technology worldwide.
