"Low-tech Magazine questions the belief in technological progress"
I wonder what reversal of technological progress made it possible to run a web server on a tiny computer that only uses 2.5 watts of power, and how that "small, off-grid solar PV system" was built out of low-tech components.

- anyonecancode 2y agoThose are technical _developments_ to be sure, but _progress_ implies movement toward a goal. As I understand it, what's being questioned isn't the development of new and innovative technology, but whether what is often done with these technologies and labeled "progress" is actually deserving of that name.
- spurgu 2y agoWho says anything about reversal? It's not using the latest and greatest tech, but some kind of minimum required to do the job of delivering those articles to a wide audience.
