In this piece, I explore the creation of human dependency on technology. These tools help, but subvert human agency. The worst situation imaginable, human primary experience replaced by technological media (literacy, television and the smartphone) is inching toward us. This creates a spectator society.
Please enjoy, and I look forward to your comments.
Best,
