... Thoreau "Men have become the tools of their tools."
Today we are not only 'tools of our tools', we are tools of our media. We face daunting technological change daily. Automobiles park themselves. Cameras recognize faces. Daily our world, our surroundings, our society, our lives are digitized. Vast amounts of data combined with immense processing and networking power consumes more and more of our existance.
