It should be seen as a tool and an approachable part of life that you really can have an effect on.” James Kernochan observes that, “In an ideal world, technology would remove the unpleasant labor from our lives and free up our time for community, and for imaginative pursuits of a wide variety.” Harmony Siganporia suggests that perhaps this is the time to re-imagine “what is meant by the descriptor 'human' itself?”
