i believe the more commonly used term is technocracy

• base698 8y ago
  Postman defines societies as having three distinct stages: 1) Tool-using: where tools are just something humans use to further their basic needs. 2) Technocracy: Where inventing for the sake of inventing starts to happen for the sake of "progress" and the tools start to attack the culture. 3) Technopoly: culture becomes subservient to technology. At this point the reason for technology is to serve technology and not people or culture anymore.
