One paradox I have found is that, the more you use computers in picture-making, the more hand-made the picture becomes.

Godfrey Reggio

Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.

What I've started to realize is that social media is not just technology - it's become its own entity, full of energy waves. These energy waves could be a Tweet about something you are furious about, like the Keystone Pipeline, or a piece of legislation. Instantly, energy surrounds and adds traction, influence, making it come alive
