Katherine, it seems like we’re especially in sync these days — in both our interests and our message! I agree with everything you wrote 100%.

Technology is a tool. And when it’s new and shiny, it quickly gets treated as a cure-all (or, alternatively, as something to fear).

Thank you for this thoughtful piece. I love your perspective!

Thank you Judith! I feel the same way, your work is inspiring me to continue exploring this path.

I know that I stay saner when I remind myself that technology is only a tool and that I need not get caught up in all of the hype!

Thank you for sharing. I thought about your writing the other day when I was at the opera house watching an interesting contemporary dance performance. The topic was about our interactions with technology and the changing boundaries. It was creative, powerful, and another interesting layer in this conversation about technology and its impact on our community.

I watched the video, super interesting Tania. I love her perspective and I hope more artists can find these creative ways to express themselves in spite of the technology. I also love how she is engaging youth as I feel they have the most to lose if AI plays too great of a role in their creative endeavors.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is a very interesting conversation. The dance performance also made me think how a message can be communicated through art in many different ways.

Great article Katherine! I agree that we have to be the ones who choose technology, not be the ones owned by it. Thank you for your thoughts and insights!
