When you talk with people about technology listen closely to their perspective: Are they analysing the mechanical working of a technology? Or are they analysing how the technology is used and what its social purpose is?
To me that distinction has become more and more apparent and it helped me understanding why people can talk about the same thing (e.g. so-called "AI") and still come to totally different results.
Some are mere mechanics.
Others are luddites.
