In working with other people, I find they often expect I know how to make something, prefer I knew how to make it, or wish I would make it so they don't have to do so themselves. That's the burden of living in a world full of technology. The following rant from Ursula LeGuin was about her status as a "science fiction" writer being questioned. Who cares? I think science fiction writers help us envision a future. And technology often gets in the way.
UrsulaK.LeGuin.com: A Rant About “Technology”, 2005 by Ursula K. LeGuin
Anybody who ever lighted a fire without matches has probably gained some proper respect for “low” or “primitive” or “simple” technologies; anybody who ever lighted a fire with matches should have the wits to respect that notable hi-tech invention.
I don’t know how to build and power a refrigerator, or program a computer, but I don’t know how to make a fishhook or a pair of shoes, either. I could learn. We all can learn. That’s the neat thing about technologies. They’re what we can learn to do.
And all science fiction is, in one way or another, technological. Even when it’s written by people who don’t know what the word means.
