Computer technology is so built into our lives that it's part of the surround of every artist.
People are looking to have more meaning in their lives. It is a sign the technology community is coming of age.

The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?
Technology is a wonderful tool but also if used incorrectly a horrible tool. We're fascinated by all aspects of it whatever makes our human lives easier on the planet but eventually there will have to be some sort of merger. The fascination isn't going to die down.

Technologists provide tools that can improve people's lives.
