    We can determine what kind of human our technologies can help us become, and build technologies that enable that. In fact, we should directly tie the success of our technologies to how much they enable our humanity (as in, our positive human characteristics), and use this criteria to evaluate past, present and future technologies.

    Letters to a Young Technologist is a great online collection of (at the time of writing this) five essays about technology written primarily for soon-to-be technologists:

    1. What is Technology? / 2. Value Beyond Instrumentalization / 3. It’s Time to Govern / 4. Study the Past, Create the Future / 5. To be a Technologist is to be Human.

There are some legal and privacy information —written in german and not laid out very thoughtfully, though. It’s nothing fancy really, just good ol’ common sense. Frank Chimero said it best: Be nice. Give credit. Share, don’t steal. If there's something you don't want to be featured here, just let me know via email.

That's all folks.

ps.: You look good today. ✨
