Hello,

Could I modify or add to Paulo Freire's quote and ask a question?

>"Technology is nothing more or less than a natural phase of the creative
> process which engaged man from the moment he forged his first tool and
> began to transform the world for its humanization"
> Paulo Freire : Cultural Action for Freedom

"Human beings first shaped their tools, then their tools shaped them". If a
more diverse population were involved in the creative process that
transforms the world, would its "humanization" be the same?

Thanks,
SFS
