As you've no doubt gathered, Langdon Winner is well-known as one of the staunchest critics of the mystique of new technology. You can find more of his writings and other interesting resources at his website and blog.
Another important critic of technology was Neil Postman, from whom I have taken what I have called the the 5 theorems regarding the political nature of technology that we have been discussing in class. If you are interested, you can read the article from which I took them. You and also find more by and about Postman here and here -- two of many websites that are devoted to keeping his ideas alive.
