Does Culture change Technology or Technology change Culture?

         After reading the article on Technology and Culture, and thinking about the topic, I feel that culture changes technology and technology changes culture both at the same time. Different cultures around the world might use technology differently, and also use technology for different purposes, but at the same time still use new technologies. New technologies definately change our culture, especially in the United States. It changes how we communicate; it also changes our language. The most important change however is that technology is changing the way we talk to one and another. We no longer do things that was common 60-70years ago since things such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and all those social networking mediums have brought upon us. Social networking mediums such as Facebook, Myspace etc... have made communicating more democratic and open so to speak. Everyone has a say on what you have to say, and everything is more open and public to the world.
