You don't get it do you. You can't decouple the technology from the use that people that control you make of it.

You don't get it, do you. Technology is only political for brief periods. When introduced, they are apolitical, existing to solve a specific problem. They become political based on usage. Then, the technology either becomes obsolete or so ubiquitous as to make any politics largely irrelevant.

That said, I don't think technology should be either political or apolitical. If there's a need to use a technology to solve a political problem, then do so. Once done, one should just revert to the natural state of enjoying or abandoning the thing for what it is.
