This is a pretty open discussion post. Search through the included text, the poignant quotes are already highlghted, you may choose one of these already. Discuss the chosen quote and what you think the author means. Here are some questions you can think about when discussing.
"The key to reading Ellul is to carefully look for his claims and then read just enough of the detail and discussion to get a grasp or takeaway of his argument. (He often continues with extra examples or references to other writers that are only helpful if you still need clarification of hs point.) The test, of course, is to come up with your own (contemporary) example that fits (or, if you disagree, contradicts) his claim.
What are the differences between traditional techniques and modern technique? What does Ellul say are the four kinds of (former) limitations on technique? In Ellul's view, what are the key characteristics of modern technique? How does he argue against the claim that it is not the technique [or technology] but the use humans make of the technique that creates problems?"
