Technology does not arrive in a vacuum. It arrives in communities, families, institutions, and cultures. These are explorations in how the tools we build reshape the world we inhabit and the people we become.
Technology is never only a tool. It is a teacher. It quietly instructs us in what to value, what to ignore, and what to expect, and it does most of that teaching while we believe we are simply getting things done.
There is a whole industry built on a simple insight about you. Your attention can be captured, measured, and sold, and you will hand it over for free if the design is good enough. Most of us have been paying that price for years without ever seeing the bill.
