"...With a given technology, workers and radicals soon learn to use it to
resist their bosses and the state (which necessitates a transformation of
technology again, to try and give the bosses an upper hand!). The use of
the Internet, for example, to organise, spread and co-ordinate information,
resistance and struggles is a classic example of this process (see Jason
Wehling, "'Netwars' and Activists Power on the Internet", Scottish
Anarchist no. 2 for details). There is always a "guerrilla war" associated
with technology, with workers and radicals developing their own tactics to
gain counter control for themselves. Thus much technological change
reflects our power and activity to change our own lives and working
conditions..."
