Technology and how it changes

Here is a link to a talk by Kevin Kelly, editor of Wired Magazine. Kevin is a highly regarded expert in the sphere of technological advancement and computer. In this talk Kevin gives his view on how technology evolves and changes over time. Although I wouldn't agree with his comparison between tahcnolocigal change and the evolution with man, I did find it interesting when he mentions at the very start of the talk how he took a digital detox and removed almost all technology from his life. He did this in order to be able to clearly think about the boundaries and uses of technology. For this reason I found this video very helpful to my project.

He's asking the right questions:
-When does technology impede upon my life as opposed to enhancing it?
-Do we need all the technology that we have?
-Does technology ever die or does it just change?
-How do we establish boundaries and parameters in which to use technology?

These questions are central to my project and finding a way to express them in video is my aim.
