Even something as innocuous as a set of school chairs is a persuasive technology, because it presents and materializes a certain vision of the good life -- a good life in which teaching and learning and listening is about one person teaching, the others listening; in which it is about learning-is-done-while-sitting; in which you learn for yourself; in which you're not supposed to change these rules, because the chairs are fixed to the ground.
Čak i nešto bezopasno poput kompleta školskih stolica je uvjeravajuća tehnologija. Zato što predstavlja i materijalizira određenu viziju dobrog života – dobrog života u kojem poučavanje i učenje i slušanje ovisi o jednoj osobi koja poučava, drugi je slušaju, u kojem se sjedi kad se uči, u kojem učite za sebe, u kojem ne biste trebali mijenjati ova pravila jer su stolice prikovane za tlo.
