Perhaps, but still I am talking about more than a piece of technology to be art, but to be well designed inside and out.

But thanks for well said comment.

Very interesting thoughts you have here. I am no expert in computers (thankfully), so maybe I miss the point...please forgive me if I do.

I think it says something though, about how impoverished our culture is when we hear people complaining about how technology is failing to be cultured or artistic (you aren't the first). Technology to me, is at best a tool for achieving some other goal. I don't like my iPod because of its beautiful lines or color, but because it brings me Stravinsky.

I don't hate microsoft word because it's klunky and hard to use, I hate it because it eats my attempts at creative writing.

So, to all who feel we're missing something with our technology, I think it is because we're asking mundane, consumer products to fulfill the promise of our humanity--one that's better realized by attending a live performance, visiting an art museum, or reading a classic book. If we can get fulfillment from those sources, I think we'll start to talk more clearly about what technology really gives us, and what we can expect from it.
