Neil Postman's book "Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology" cautions against the dangers of technological arrogance, highlighting how society often embraces new technologies without fully considering the repercussions. This unchecked enthusiasm can lead to a disregard for essential skills that could be lost as society becomes increasingly dependent on machines and digital devices.

Postman emphasizes the need to reflect on the capabilities that exist outside of technology. As we adopt new tools, it is crucial to remain aware of what skills and knowledge might be sacrificed in the process. This awareness can help maintain a balance between utilizing technology and preserving human skills and wisdom.
