Regarding the nature of convenience, Tierney sees in the modern value a reimagining of the body’s needs as limits to be overcome. Tierney notes that others have focused on the domination of nature as the guiding value of modern technology. The domination of nature, according to Tierney, “has been the value which guides the cutting edge of technology; it is the value pursued by the leaders of technological progress, the scientists and technicians.”
