“The technology is the independent variable, the social system the dependent variable. Social, systems are therefore determined by systems of technology; as the latter change, so do the former.”

“I wanted more out of my time here on earth than to work, get cancer and die.”
Leslie White, Three Years A Traveler: One woman, One dog, Seven Rvs, and the path less traveled to heal the heart
