It also scares me a little.

Pranav is definitely a 21st Century thinker in terms of technology. He's able to take a current (old fashioned) piece of technology and apply it in an innovative way.

It makes me think that these ideas have been around for a while after seeing the Minority Report with Tom Cruise . He uses a similar technology in the movie.

This year I trialed a piece of technology called the mimio. It's a scanner that a teacher placed on the whiteboard. When she wrote, it scanned her writing and sent it via bluetooth to a usb in a student's computer.

I looked up that mimio technology you mentioned. These new things seem to show us images of a not-too-distant future. I daresay that much of it will come at a greater cost, namely, a dependence more vast than we already experience.

It just seems all too unreal to me sometimes. Technology is a double-edged sword. The new seems so brilliant and promising while the occult feels all but comfortable.

Don't you think it's compelling how something has come forth from the life of humanity made out of dead things? Dead things with electricity! It bears no life but, funnily enough, it bears a spirit! A spirit that pulsates the electrical currents of our modern-day experiences of convenience, connectedness, and conformity.

The wonders of technology sure are great and wonderful. Not only the advances, mind you, but what lies underneath the material.

How would I have met you, dear koi, without technology? Oh how bittersweet these wondrous blunders!

By the pangs that flow from them I know its heartless construct!

If only we could afford the Tin Man his heart!
