What is technology good for? Simple — not to “improve” our lives, but as a tool to augment our own innate human abilities. For example:

1. Writing as a tool to better explicate your thoughts or what’s on your mind. In praise of iAwriter
2. Blogging as a new communication form to stream your thoughts, ideas, and creative art works. In praise of WordPress
3. The phone as a tool to augment the human voice (your voice can travel across the world)
4. The camera as a tool to augment human vision, to record memories, and make art works.
5. iPad as a tool for creative artists (visual artists in particular) to make visual art pieces. In praise of Procreate app.
