This paper is a discussion of information and
communication technologies, and the effect of alienation that new technologies
have on society. In this paper,
technologies and social realms are described as integrated relationships. The impact of new innovations in digital and
communication technologies is, in this essay, one of increased malaise and indifference within the social venue of these technologies. Technologies are changing so rapidly that the possibility of a social or global influence in the development of technology is eclipsed by the larger investment in change, not progress.
