A
Technology is a form of power that can be used to control and dominate others.
💡 Explanation:
Foucault argues that technology is not simply a neutral tool, but rather a form of power that can be used to control and dominate others. He points to the example of the panopticon, a prison designed by Jeremy Bentham, as an example of how technology can be used to create a system of surveillance and control.
