Technocrats celebrate technologies as worthy of worship in the manner of idolaters who value technocratic ideals as worthy of ultimate concern, adoration, and awe. The integrative use of technologies depends upon the lively presence of integrative ideals, values, attitudes, beliefs, paradigms and role models. In their absence technologies are likely to become the focus of services of worship/celebration led by people who worship/celebrate their particular forms of technologies as appropriate objects of worship/celebration; i.e., as idols. It is not possible to worship technologies honestly; ---because they cannot deliver the reflexive fulfillment, satisfaction and meaning which is promised. Technologies are the fruits of objective and manipulative paradigms. The fruits of such paradigms cannot guarantee the achievement of reflexive goals which are clearly not objective in nature. Through the use of technologies we may achieve clearly defined objective goals; but our achievement of such goals is not the same as enjoying the reflexive fulfillment, satisfaction and meaning which is anticipated.
