Art in 3-d for elementary classes

An interview with Kevin Kelly showed up on my Reader via Make Magazine. I watched the whole thing, fascinated. He covered the earth, and many of his thoughts were very provocative. He talked about the difference between biology, which can become extinct, and technology, which never becomes extinct. Any technology developed is still in use, he says. For example, there are more people flaking flint to make arrowheads in the U.S. now than there were when arrowheads made of flint were high technology.

Late in the interview he spoke as technology personified and told what he wanted, and it was not to take over the world! Thank goodness! It wants clean air and water (for manufacturing), it wants us to be happy, and it wants our co-operation, it wants more diversity of itself, and more specialization. And it wants “energy density” i.e. efficiency. I suggest everyone listen to this.
