Review # 1 was written on 2010-06-20 00:00:00 Mike Xigarevidh Don Ihde is surely one of the great philosophers of technology, and this book represents much of the foundation of his thought and ideas about technology in the modern world. A worthy read for anyone interested in a careful analysis of how we interface with various technologies. I found the first half of the book to be particularly constructive in breaking down technology relationships into those of embodiment, hermeneutic, and alterity. I wasespecially impressed with Ihde's balanced criticisms and ability to parse out and synthesize recent arguments concerning modern technology.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-30 00:00:00 Tyler Domville "Program One: A Phenomenology of Technics" is the core chapter of the book and the one that has withstood time's test. Description of embodiment, hermeneutic, alterity, and background relations are worth reading.
