The word 'technology' has become a shield for accountability. Brilliant piece by Guru Madhavan in @FT
When we say 'tech is changing an industry,' we erase the human decisions driving that change. We present choices as inevitabilities.
The Greeks had a better word: technē. It meant skilled craft, keeping the maker and their purpose in full view. It’s time we brought that precision—and that responsibility—back into the conversation.
Thanks @BioengineerGM for this very important article.

Engineers proudly call themselves problem solvers. That's where the problem begins! @BioengineerGM in conversation with @RebekahFWard @JLFLitfest #Jlfhouston2025 @TeamworkArts @asiasocietytx @InprintHouston – at Houston, TX

A systems engineer has to embrace a problem with all its contradictions. Engineering like life is not glamorous. You need to design under constraints with the understanding that you r not going to get everything u want out of life. @BioengineerGM with @RebekahFWard @JLFLitfest #Jlfhouston2025 – at Houston, TX
Guru Madhavan retweeted
We’ve stretched the word “technology” so far it’s lost meaning. Once Technē - skilled craft - now it's everything from apps to EVs. Maybe it’s time to retire the word. QEPrize #CreateTheFuture podcast host, @BioengineerGM shares his views in the @FT.
