I personally find the idea of technological determinism unrealistic. Technology is something created by humans, by individuals. someone needs to have an idea and to develop something before that piece of technology springs into existence. The idea that technology controls the development of itself is ridiculous.

While some areas of technology may follow a predictable path, or follow on from one another in a logical manner, this is a matter of physical and intellectual limitations in the development of knowledge. There is always a person or group that thinks something amazing before technology develops. lets take the human element out and see how well technology develops. It is controlled by humanity, and developed by humans.
