A 3. And what should be wrong with that?
Maybe it isn't false at all, but I think that to be a mistake, maybe I have some supporters. I refer to two texts, the first one dealing specially with the computer:
Ernst Schuberth: Erziehung in einer Computergesellschaft, (Education within the Computerized Society) Verlag Freies Geistesleben, Stuttgart 1990, p. 294 f.:
"It is a demand (by Rudolf Steiner) that all instruction must refer to the conditions of human life. This is valid especially to data engineering. This must not result as negative. At most it should be considered negative that man looks at the machine to be a metaphor of himself and to compare his thinking to data processing by a machine - however a widespread idea. These impasses of cognition do not deal directly with what the technology is and what it is not. Rather should be tried as far as possible to see through the fundamental principles of data technology. This is valid for all youngsters, also for those in vocational training.
After all the mere habituation to the behavior of a "black box" is unworthy and will have consequences as far to production. ... Up to commercial and administrative education the principles of computer technology must be taught, as only by that way the occuring courses of events can be seen through and sources of errors can be detected. Thus may arise the possibility of an independent judgment". -
So far Ernst Schuberth.
