2. “Whose problem is it?”
3. “Which people and what institutions might be most seriously harmed by a technological solution?”

5. “What sort of people and institutions might acquire special economic and political power because of technological change?”
6. “What changes in language are being enforced by new technologies, and what is being gained and lost by such changes?”
