Jacques Ellul had brought up this problem as well in the context of discussing how Technique itself had undergone a transformation from past eras to the 20th Century. Specifically, to the extent that there were techniques in pre-modern times, they existed under far greater spatial and temporal constraints. Spatially, they were restricted to local communities and did not embody our automatic expectation of globalized influence; temporally, they required centuries to develop and did not embody our automatic expectation of “rapid progress.”[213] These spatial and temporal limitations on Technique allowed a greater diversity of lifestyles for human individuals. For one, this was because a plurality of techniques were distributed over smaller pockets of influence.[214] In addition, the technical deficiency in tools actually strengthened the role of the human subject since it required him or her to develop his or her subjective abilities in order to supplement this lack.[215]
