poking agin
for the record, i am an artist (writer & painter, mostly) who supports
himself by programming computers. i know a number of other artists.
i don't know any ARTISTS who disparage technology. i know a few humanists
who disparage technology, but they are in the minority. personally,
i don't disparage technology, but i tend to be very thoughtful, so i
think a lot of technology is not worth having. like food processors
& neutron bombs. i know a lot of scientists too, & a fair number of them
have a very limited appreciation of art. the scientists/technoligists
i know who do appreciate art tend to be humanists as well, so i think
the comparison of techno-humano is balderdash. there are just people
who are more limited than others. however, they don't bother me as much
as people who are DEPENDENT on technology.
