Of course I love the Switchfoot overlay! And also, I do think that culture is the language our species speaks. And technologically, Terrence using the word soft aligns with the experience I’ve been having since getting my new MacBook Air. It’s the cheapest Apple laptop on the market but it’s absolutely beautiful. The way the keys are curved and press down at just the right resistance, and like the haptic vibrations on the new iPhones. Technology *can* be soft, it *is* our culture! And we can make immersing ourselves in that world a glorious experience that integrates with our nature and native tongue rather than the “hardware” vibe of the Industrial Revolution old skool style. That’s what springs to mind when I read the quote.
