We are
submerged by tons of paper!
Wait a second. A few minutes you said you're not into hi-tech, and
now you're raving about it...
I'm not a techie. I don't know how these things work. But I like
what they do, and the new human processes that they generate.
What is in your opinion the most important technological
breakthrough of our society in recent years ?
My favorite piece of technology is the Walkman. It forever changed
the way we perceive music. The Walkman has given us the opportunity
to listen to whatever kind of music we wanted wherever we wanted.
The Fax machine is also an amazing thing. We live in a
very different world because of that: instantaneous written
communication everywhere. It is also a very political technology,
as the Tien An Men Square events told us.
What about e-mail ?
E-mail is very glamorous. Way too glamorous.
