Is Cultural Maturity just another way of talking about the transformations of the Information Age?
There are links. But Cultural Maturity’s picture is more encompassing and warns that partialities common when thinking only in information Age terms hold traps for the unwary. Cultural Maturity argues that very few of the important concerns before us can be resolved solely by technological means. It also challenges the common assumption that invention is the ultimate driver of cultural change. It argues that just as much culture shapes what we are able to invent and how we use what we invent. Miss the more systemic picture and we can end up pursuing ends that we ultimately would not at all want.
