Openness and autonomic self-development are the essential properties of the internet. Openness and privacy are incompatible. Privacy is one of the most important constituents of democracy. This means that democratic society will lose the basis of its structure if it depends strongly on the internet. Moreover, the internet has the property of autonomic self-development. Once the internet establishes itself in society, it develops on its own on the basis of this property and infiltrates every nook and cranny of society. The internet-dependent society thus becomes extremely technology teleological, with human reason subordinate to the development of technology. To emancipate ourselves from the spell of the internet, we need to regain the power to exercise techniques from the self-aware standpoint of human reason (λσγοζ). We can achieve this by returning to the spirit of the ancient Greek τεχυολογια, the origin of the word technology. The problems of modern society that seem to stem from technology have their true source in the fact that human beings have forgotten the original meaning of technology and have used techniques from the viewpoint of engineering, which is merely the pursuit of efficiency. In short, the problems of the internet-dependent society typify those that arise from using techniques not as technology in the true sense but as mere engineering.
