5. “[I]n principle, the interminably open horizon of human
existence does not allow for any computerization, but that
computers can be helpful tools (in the sense of Being and
Time) since they, like humans, exist on the basis of language.
Conceptualizing the most complex technological medium as a
tool, however, is so common and comforting that the
humanities are free to continue their business as usual. Given
that tools are always defined from the point of view of their
user, there is no need to question the old approach that defines
machines from the point of view of humans; and subsequently
there is no need to consider the possibility that, conversely,
humans are defined by machines.”
—Friedrich Kittler, “Thinking Colours and/or
Machines.” Theory, Culture, & Society. 23.7-8.
(1996/2006): 39-50.
