Abstract:
The playful re-working of the idiomatic expression ‘the apple of my eye’ to the ‘eye/I of my
Apple’ provides the answer to the question on technology, emphasising its importance for
societies, specifically the South African society, and embodied personhood, and at the same
time its determinative contextual character. The answer to the question on technology firstly
takes as the vantage point a few personal comments by the author in relation to the question
at hand. Secondly, brief remarks on technology and approaches to the question are made
before the focus on ethics is explicated and motivated. Lastly, a deep concern is identified and
is poignantly described as the probable wicked technologisation of the African soul.
