What are the conditions for a computer user to gain agency, defined here as the ability to evade automatisms?

A Rant About “Technology”
Individual
critical
In A Rant About Technology, Ursula K. Le Guin explores society's near-obsession with technology, suggesting that we often glorify new gadgets and tools at the expense of deeper human values such as creativity, compassion and wisdom. She argues that while technology can be helpful, we should question its role and avoid making it a substitute for meaningful, humane experiences. Le Guin advocates a balanced perspective, encouraging us to value technology without allowing it to define or control us.
““Technology” and “hi tech” are not synonymous, and a technology that isn't “hi,” isn’t necessarily '“low” in any meaningful sense.”
