New technology, however transient or banal it may seem, increases our choices and sets the stage for new problems; it builds the world that we live in and react to. Whenever we create anything, we join a vast lineage of makers and thinkers and doers, from the first cave painter to the designers of virtual technology. In this interview, Kevin talks about applying the genius you have to the technology and possibilities of the present.
