“We must create at the same scale as we can destroy. The counter force to the scale of destruction is the scale of communication”- Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz

Nowadays people look at technology and think it’s a force taking over the world, negatively affecting our humanity and our pure unmediated interaction with one another. I won’t lie, until very recently, I was one of those people. However, I’ve begun to realise that technology is founded on the belief that it improves communication between humans.  From such perspective, you find that technology enables us to express our ideas more eloquently which, in turn, permits the receiver a clearer understanding. Tolerance begins to develop from improved understanding. Now, neither Steve Dietz nor myself are suggesting technology leads to world peace. I’m merely pointing out that, in improving human interaction, technology takes us a step closer to tolerating and accepting others.
