Technology as Magic: The Case of the University

The university, arguably the freest institution in the West since the Middle Ages, has become a microcosm of the technological society. The Western university has always been under attack, sometimes from the church, sometimes from government and business, now from technology. One historian has noted that the university was freest when it was poorest and least useful. It is now the paramount originator and disseminator of technical information, and as such has more to do with our enslavement to technology than any other institution, except the political state.
