Digital communications technology

...starting from its most basic roots...

stands apart.

For, instead of improving a single part of our lives

this technology changes the ways that we,

as individuals, and as a collective

interact with one another.

Instead of being geographically or temporally constrained

we are only constrained by the artificial

digital affordances we have provided ourselves..

that form the very systems that empower us.
