Kevin Kelly on Markets - Dictionary of Arguments

Morozov I 217
Markets/Technology/Kelly/Morozov: Kelly thesis: the limitation of technology is ineffective, if not harmful. Restrictions are also not permanent. If something is confined in one place, it comes back to life elsewhere.(1)
>Technology
.
Globalization/Marketplace/Kelly: Thesis: Where a technology is banned locally, it slips out of control to be bundled elsewhere on the globe. (2)
>Globalization.
MorozovVsKelly: but why should we take a global view of technology when it is regulated by local conditions? Maybe a local community was strong enough to block something unacceptable.
Politics/MorozovVsKelly: the misleading thing about his speech is that it is technological, but in reality it is highly political.
>Politics.
