Technology's Polypotency Technology's polypotency has been used to mean the multiple aspects of interference caused by the introduction of a technology with a relatively few or even a singular purpose in mind. Polypotency could be argued to be caused by way of universal adaptation. Unless the bulk of society does not renege control to the technology, regardless of what technology it is, the technology itself has little power really. For example, something simple like the internet was merely a pinging tool for the nerdiest of our kind. Not until the bankers of Wall Street, grandmothers of Iowa and sheep herders of Mongolia began to place trust in it that it turned to be the formidable entity it has turned into today “ capable of powering revolutions. In a way, our adaptation and the precise method that the process comes about to be results in the ways the technology would affect us. Sclove's Insistence Sclove's insistence that we should do more to acknowledge technology's polypotency (Sclove, 1995) is a foreboding of a good nature. Sclove is making us all aware of the elephant in the room that we have programmed ourselves to not look at or think about. Before the idea was introduced to me, I never really thought along these lines. Granted I would marvel at the strength and possibilities that technology brings, interacting daily with it, but never really focused on how it came about to be: after all internet even as late as the early 90s was merely an electronic hangout for male geeks “ the products, advertisements and marketing all directed at them. It was never begun to one day topple the unpopular dictatorships of Middle East via unforeseen Facebook and Twitter. Therefore, Sclove asks us to recognize the strategic girth a simple technology gains in due course of time. The sooner we do so, the more likely we would be to think along productive lines “ a step ahead of persons who cannot see far enough. Criminals of the 1970s
