Heidegger, Marcuse, and Ellul warned against the rise of a technological mass culture. Yet the rise of Big Data has exceeded our worst fears about Big Brother, leading us to again question whether technologies are empowering us or enslaving us. Philosophy of technology has since turned away from such dystopic views, promoting instead the view that we shape technologies just as technologies shape us.
