Darin Barney has written about technology’s impact on practices of citizenship and democratic culture, suggesting that technology can be construed as:
(1) an object of political debate,
(2) a means or medium of discussion, and
(3) a setting for democratic deliberation and citizenship.
As a setting for democratic culture, Barney suggests that technology tends to make ethical questions, including the question of what a good life consists in, nearly impossible because they already give an answer to the question: a good life is one that includes the use of more and more technology.
