Abstract

The Swedish scholar, Oscar Öquist (1992), once complained that everything he loves about people – our complexity, our vagueness, our irrationality, and our insecurity, in other words, our humanness – is being persecuted and demeaned by technology’s distant and logical ideals.

They are denigrated as feminine, childish, or immature. And yet we implicitly know how important these qualities are for human growth and development.
