Technology is how you use it. It can amplify your value, reach more people. It's why, you know, a lot of us are connected through social media. There's so many benefits. You can learn history from the best professor at Oxford. I mean, it's incredible. Technology is a tool for you to use, but if technology is using you, then who becomes the tool? Like, that's us, right? I'm a tool! I was out to dinner the other night and it was 10 of us. And then when the bill came, like half the table picked up their phone to find the calculator to divide by 10. That illustrates the problem that we have right now is because that we can't even do simple mental math.
