tech advice

technology is interesting. because working on it can teach you how to live, but relying on it may be exactly how you don't want to live. let me explain. what drives technology is a need, or at the very least, an inconvenience. it sparks curiousity and creativity to think up unique ideas and ways to use nature. Then there is the initial failure that comes with trying things that have never been tested. This teaches you a rare discipline and patience. Then finally executing your strategy succesfully, gives you a confidence and a determination like no other. These are great qualities. On the other hand, the user of your product is given something immediately to play with, dulling their curiousity. It may do everything for them, making them lazy... or worse takes away their job, killing their confidence :) ... so with these positive and negative effects, it is hard to say whether i am for or against technological advancement(?)... fine art is interesting. like that which is placed in museums. it can be like technology, in the sense, of being every bit as innovative... and challenging to the creator, as well. pushing their hearts and minds to enormous depths; giving them unique gifts and lessons about life and nature in the process. as far as what it does to the receiver of the product is different, however. in a way, the viewer isn't given something "functional". they can't take it home / try it on / it won't do their work for them. it requires THEM to work. it requires them to think and feel, in a very trying meditative way. it is SHARING. it gives them some of the gifts that the creator had recieved.
