Nature is the ultimate technology; a technology we are still too immature, arrogant, possessive and careless to care for responsibly. ↗

The real ugliness lies in the relationship between people who produce the technology and the things they produce, which results in a similar relationship between the people who use the technology and the things they use. ↗
