There Is Only One Technology

This article presents a philosophical perspective on technology, arguing that all human inventions, from prehistoric stone tools to modern AI, are part of a single, inevitable technological evolution. The author suggests that viewing technology as a 'tech tree' removes guilt and blame from discussions about innovations like television, social media, and AI, framing them as natural steps in human progress rather than optional choices. The piece includes references to related essays and is written in a reflective, essayistic style, touching on themes of determinism and technological inevitability.
